A St Philip man has been found guilty of rape after a jury returned a unanimous verdict following less than two hours of deliberation.

Following a summation of the trial by Justice Laurie-Ann Smith-Bovell, a nine-member jury returned a verdict convicting Keith Eric Eversley, 68, of Oak Leaf Villa, Mangrove Plantation, of having sexual intercourse with a woman without her consent, or being reckless as to whether she consented, on February 16, 2019.

The judge thanked the panel of five women and four men in the No. 4 Supreme Court for their service before remanding Eversley to Dodds Prison pending sentencing.
