GEORGE TOWN An 18-year-old college student from Georgia was sentenced this week to four months in a Cayman Islands prison after pleading guilty to violating a strict COVID quarantine mandate in the Caribbean territory, according to several news reports.
Skylar Mack and her 24-year-old boyfriend Vanjae Ramgeet were sent away Tuesday morning after an appeals judge set aside an earlier sentence by a lower court that entailed a $2,600 fine and 40 hours of community service.
An attorney representing the couple criticized the punishment as too harsh, although the four months to serve was reduced from 15 months due to the guilty pleas, Cayman News Service reported.
