Child Molester Released--- Investigations Continues.

Philipsburg: --- The Guyanese man who has been identified as N has been released from pretrial detention yesterday afternoon after he appeared before the judge of instruction for an extension of time.
The man who works at the harbor is accused of molesting his 12 year old stepdaughter over a long period of time. This media house was reliably informed that the suspect may have molested other teenage girls that are now being investigated.
SMN News understands that the court of guardianship has removed the teenage girl who is highly traumatized and is now being rejected by her mother from the family home.
While it is understood the man allegedly abused all three of his stepdaughters the prosecutor said they have only received one complaint which pertains to 12 year of Starlight Education. Despite this it seems as if the prosecutor is not able to produce sufficient evidence against the suspected child molester.
This media house understands that the man may have fathered a child with his oldest stepdaughter who was his first victim and was sent back to Jamaica when she began talking with neighbors about the sexual abuse. It is said the young woman returned to St. Maarten and not long after became pregnant.
SMN News further understands that two of the children has since moved out of their mother's home and is now living at their aunt's house. The source said last Monday when the 12 year was abused she left her mother's house and went to her aunt who told her she did not have space to take her in. The child it is understood then went to a neighbor who rescued her for the night before turning the case over to the court of guardianship and police.
Several persons in the area where the family resides said the mother is rather upset with her daughter saying that they don't like her ‘husband" thus they are lying on him. One neighbor said the woman is even accusing the school director for calling the police since she is fully aware that the school knows what was happening over a year now. The source said the woman even called the school using fowl language at the teachers.
