Aldemir Pott charged for rape.
A man from the village of Guinea Grass in the Orange Walk District has been remanded to prison on charges of rape, after he allegedly committed the act against a tourist in San Pedro Town on Saturday last, February 3.
The 22-year woman of California in the U.S.A. reported to police that Aldermir Pott, 23, forced his way into her apartment and had sexual intercourse with her against her will.
The alleged incident took place around 11:30 that night shortly after the woman arrived at her apartment. She recalled upon arrival at her home Pott and a group of men were on the verandah socialising when he offered to assist her in opening her apartment door.
It’s alleged that after the door was opened, Pott followed the woman inside, locked the door and raped her.
The woman immediately reported the incident to the police and a search of the area lead police to arrest Pott, an unemployed.
Pott arrest comes just two days after San Pedro police embarked on a campaign to rid the island’s streets, of individuals who have been harassing both locals and tourists alike.
On Thursday, February 1, police arrested seven men and charged them with wondering abroad after they were found hanging out on the island’s streets and were unable to prove to the police their ties to the area. They have since been arraigned and fined.
