Businessman Caught In Bed with 13 year Old Charged for Carnal Knowledge

Sandhill businessman Wilhelm Leslie Jr. 43, who the Police alleged they caught with a 13 year old girl in his bed was charged with 2 counts of carnal knowledge when he appeared yesterday in the #2 Magistrate’s Court. Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser explained to him that she would not take a plea because the offences are indictable. She also explained to Leslie that the Court could not offer him bail because of the nature of the offences. She remanded him into custody until August 7.

The first incident occurred in April, 2006 and the second one for which he was charged occurred on July 2, 2010. The girl reported to the Police in the presence of a social worker that sometime in April, 2006, while she was at Leslie’s house he took her into the bedroom and had sex with her. She said that Leslie’s common-law wife was using the bathroom at the time. She told Police that she would go to Leslie’s house 6 times per week and he had sex with her 3 times each week and each time he waited until his common-law wife was in the bathroom. She reported that in March, 2010, Leslie’s common-law wife left him and went to Ladyville to live.

She said she began to work in Leslie’s shop from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. each day of the week and Leslie paid her $8.00 per day from Monday to Friday and $10.00 on Saturdays and Sundays. She reported that Leslie had sex with her at around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, July 2 and they went to sleep. She said she was awakened from sleep when the Police came shortly after midnight and found her in bed with Leslie. The girl was examined by a doctor who certified that she was carnally known and classified the injury to her vagina as grievous harm.
