A Corentyne pandit, who is being investigated for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl, has been re-arrested for allegedly posting videos of the girl performing sex acts with him.
Police re-arrested the religious leader after the girl’s 31-year-old mother told investigators about the videos being circulated on social media.
The pandit, who is already on $100,000 station bail for the alleged March 17 incident, was released on an additional $20,000 station bail on Wednesday.
According to the mother, a government 10-day worker, it was four days after the incident that her daughter told her what allegedly happened.
The incident reportedly occurred at the pandit’s birthday party.
The woman said she was told that her daughter was given beer to drink and when she became intoxicated, she was taken to a room and sexually assaulted. However, the teenager only spoke out after her mother confronted her. In fact, according to the mother, when she confronted her daughter with the information she received from a friend, the young lady went into the yard and attempted suicide. It was after this that she revealed to her mother what transpired on March 17.
According to the mother of the teenager, following the attempted suicide, Child Care Services intervened and promised to provide counselling for the teenager.
“Up to today I have not gotten back any call from them,” the woman said on Thursday.
