Policeman Charged with Four Counts of Rape of a Child

A policeman has been charged with four counts of rape of a child. The charges against thirty-four-year-old Anival Carillo were filed after the child, a fourteen-year-old girl from Corozal, accompanied by her mother, made a police report in August.  The girl alleges that between 2022 and 2023, a police officer had sexual relations with her several times. Carrillo was arraigned in the Magistrate’s Court. No plea was taken because of the severity of the offenses and Carrillo was remanded to the Belize Central Prison. His case will be called again on November twenty-sixth.
