THE law is clear and a message must be sent that children are off limits when it comes to sexual activities.
And those who have any intention of engaging in such activities with minors, even if there is no resistance from the child, must cast it from their minds immediately and walk away.
So said Justice Hayden St Clair-Douglas yesterday during a virtual hearing as he imposed a sentence of nine yearsâ hard labour on a San Juan man who fathered three children with an under-age girl.
The first child was born in 2009 when the girl was just 13 years old. The second was born two years later, and the third when she was 18.
