17-y-o student accused of assaulting woman in bathroom

ST JAMES, Jamaica — A seventeen-year-old student of a Montego Bay, St James address has been charged with rape and grievous sexual assault after he allegedly broke into a woman’s house and assaulted her in the bathroom earlier this month.

The incident reportedly happened on Monday, August 5.

According to police reports, about 3:30 pm, the woman was in her bathroom when the teen reportedly gained entry and sexually assaulted her.
