A man accused of a sexual offence against a minor was found not guilty by a judge in the High Court in Port of Spain on June 2.

The accused, Yaseen Hamid, appeared before Justice Lisa Ramsumair-Hinds in a trial by judge alone. He was charged with the sexual penetration of a 16-year-old girl. The allegation stemmed from a report made in January 2024.

The state led evidence through the minor, the minor’s mother and police officers. Prosecutors contended that the accused signed the child out from her school.
