Jail time, compensation sought for rape

A prosecutor has proposed a starting sentence of 13 years for a 69-year-old man convicted of raping a woman at knifepoint in her home. She is also seeking $50 000 restitution in addition to jail time.

Keith Eric Eversley, of Oak Leaf Villa, Mangrove Plantation, St Philip, was unanimously found guilty by a jury earlier this year of having sexual intercourse with a woman without her consent, or being reckless as to whether she consented, on February 19, 2019.

Eversley and the complainant went out together, and he told her he wanted to stay the night as he was tired. She agreed, but during the evening he repeatedly demanded sex, and she refused.
