Marlon Samuels, a 19-year-old resident of Flamstead Gardens in St. James, was charged with Forcible Abduction, Attempted Rape, and Sexual Touching of a Child following an incident on Wednesday, January 10.
According to reports from the Montego Bay Police, around 4:00 p.m., the minor was returning from a nearby shop when she encountered Samuels at a house. Samuels allegedly beckoned her to the house, but she refused and continued walking. Subsequently, he forcibly grabbed her hands, pulled her inside the house, and locked the door, where he assaulted her.
In a brave attempt to escape, the minor bit Samuels on his hand and managed to flee. She promptly reported the incident to her mother, who then took her to the Centre of Investigation for Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA).
Following the report, Samuels was arrested and later identified during an Identification Parade held on Wednesday, January 24.
Arrangements for his court date are currently underway.
