Jamaican jailed for 13 years in Cayman Islands for raping woman

From RJR News

Jamaican Marlon Porter, who was found guilty of raping a woman during a four-hour ordeal at a remote location in George Town, Grand Cayman in 2016, has been jailed for 13 years.

The 37 year old was convicted last October of rape, assault as well as causing harassment and distress after he also threatened to drown the woman.

Porter eventually released his victim who was found wandering by a motorist and taken to hospital.

In his ruling by video link from the UK, the presiding judge, Justice Alastair Malcolm, said he had taken into consideration the aggravating factors that Porter had taken the woman to a remote location to commit the sexual attack and also had a previous conviction for violence against women.

During the trial, the victim told the court that she was offered a lift by Porter, whom she knew vaguely, shortly after midnight on the night in question.

Porter, denied the allegations, insisting at trial that the woman had consented to sex in exchange for cash.
