AFTER 14 years awaiting trial, 35-year-old Levon Julien was acquitted of two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor following a jury’s eight-to-one not-guilty verdict on October 18.

Julien was on trial before Justice Kathy Ann Waterman-Latchoo.

The charges alleged that Julien engaged in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl at two locations in December 2011 and January 2012. The case, prosecuted by state counsel Shervone Noriega and Samantha Marajh, claimed the incidents occurred at a neighbour’s home and later at Julien’s residence in Las Alturas, Morvant. The neighbour was not called as a witness.
