A 27 year old Bermuda man will spend ten years in prison for sexual offences
against a young girl.
Last week William Smith was found guilty of unlawful carnal knowledge,
attempted unlawful carnal knowledge and two counts of sexual exploitation of a
child by someone in a position of trust.
The attacks are believed to have happened on or before September 23. 2016
and again in the summer of 2017, when Smith attempted to rape the girl who was
then ten years old.
Judge Craig Attridge chastised the 27 year old who he said traumatised a child
for his sexual gratification.
“As if that wasn’t enough the defendant then made her suffer the verbal ordeal of
giving evidence in open court. It is a shame that he forced her to confront her
abuser in that way,” he said.
Judge Attridge said Smith continues to deny wrongdoing and shows no remorse.
In a victim impact statement that she read in court, the girl said the attacks
bothered her soul deeply.
“I have anxiety now. I feel more stressed out in general. Things that might not
have irritated me before irritate me now. I continue to feel scared sometimes and
I worry a lot,” she said.
As a survivor of sexual abuse, the young girl said despite it being difficult to make
friends, she has made a conscious decision to no longer be afraid of her abuser.
Smith was sentenced to ten years for unlawful carnal knowledge, six years for
attempted unlawful carnal knowledge, and eight years and six years respectively
for two counts of sexual exploitation.
The sentences will run concurrently and Justice Attridge ordered that time served
be deducted from his sentence.
He said Smith will be eligible for parole only after he has served at least five
years.
Upon release, Smith will be added to the sexual offender’s registry.

Stolen Innocence
By Courtney Parker
I find it funny how a smile can hide a broken heart,
And how the masking of your feelings is a secret art.
Would you have seen it coming? I know she hides it well;
The whole world is really under this girl's tragic spell.
Thinking nothing of the glare in her big brown eyes;
Little do they know, they're a great disguise.
She wakes up, watches the sun rise,
Starts reeling off the bucket loads of sad lies.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, " she replies.
No one can hear the scream of her internal cries.
She thinks there's no hope and no faith left to give.
Feels no reason and no purpose for her soul to live.
How could you take this girl, and make her feel secure?
Then go grab your mates, and make her feel impure?
'Cause now she's damaged forever and her thoughts are stained;
With every memory you gave her you should be ashamed.
Did you like it when you heard her screaming out in pain?
I bet the thought of it, is driving her insane.
One of the worst crimes that you could commit;
And for what? Just for your own selfish benefit.
And now she's thinking, "do I even deserve to live?"
'Cause what you did there is no way she could forgive.
She was so innocent, until that event,
You made an indent, on her presence.
Now she's forced to travel down her life on this path.
Guess you really didn't think of the aftermath.
Was it intentional?
Are you delusional?
Did you understand what you were doing at all?
What a waste of such a precious girl I will admit.
You took advantage of her and now you've ruined it.
And I just hope that one day she will recover;
And a genuine smile she will discover.
Sometimes outside, it doesn't mean a thing.
'Cause this girl 's beautiful when you start digging in.
And I'll admit that, there's nothing left to say.
But I promise that everything will be okay.
And just remember that I'm here for you whenever.
It's gonna be that way with us forever.
'Cause you know that I'm never really very far.
And when you hear this song, you'll know who you are.
So I hope you cherish the words that I wrote for you.
And I admire you for everything you've been through.
You are stronger than you'd ever know I promise you,
Just think back at all those awful things, you know it's true.
You're still standing here, healthy and alive,
And if you truly believe I know that you'll survive (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXIP6DHrc2I)
My name is Tiasha and I'm here to tell others my story! I was sexually
abused by my mother's ex-boyfriend! I used to be scared to say anything
about the rape, but I knew it was best for me to start talking about it!
Although I'm scared to be around any male alone, I've decided to let the
world know my story!

Tears are always running down my face.
I hang my head low thinking, "What a disgrace?"
The tears are coming from all the damage you caused.
What do you want now, a round of applause?
I've watched you rape and molest me right before my eyes
Now the only thing left to do is cry
You stole my virginity without my consent
PLEASE tell me why this is the way it went
All I wanted was for you to get off of me
But getting you off of me just wasn't that easy
You hit me in my face then ripped my shirt
Then you pushed it in to the point where it hurt
I remember it like it was yesterday
Answer this, will I ever forget about this and be okay?
The thoughts are crucial & all I can do is cry
Sometimes I just think then ask myself "why didn't I die?"
The bastard didn't care if I lived or if I died
All he cared about was being satisfied
I feel dirty, I feel low, I feel used
I'll always know that I'm a victim of sexual abuse!

Reflection 1
The first piece of information that i have got from the internet is an article
written by DIONNE BAPTISTE entitled bermudian man to serve 10 years in
jail for child sexual assault,as i read the aritle it scared me because
how a 27 year old man could make a 10 year old girl feel uncortable
who know what was going through her mind during the moment
which is “tiggered” i will read further ino this atricle to provide more
information.
The second piece of sourcs os a peopm witten by tisha
anderson,entitled sexual abuse,her poem is maily about the tears she
have cried.when she said “the tears are coming from all the damage
you cause” for me means that she feel mentally and emotionally
destory and defeated,as i read more to her poem i felt sad,nobody
wish to be in this postion.
