A man from east Trinidad was sentenced to prison following his conviction for multiple serious offences, including abduction, grievous sexual assault, and robbery, stemming from an attack on a woman in 2014.

The incident occurred on April 5, 2014, in the early morning. The woman told police she was walking in her room when she was suddenly grabbed, restrained, and taken into a nearby apartment. She reported being threatened and assaulted before managing to escape and notify police at the Malabar Police Station. Officers later arrested Delano Robertson who was identified by the woman. Two cell phones taken during the incident were recovered. He was indicted in June.

Justice Kathy Ann Waterman-Latchoo reviewed a victim impact statement and other details during sentencing. The judge noted the lasting psychological effects on the woman, the severity of the attack, and the public nature of the crime.
