A man in his late twenties has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to raping a 12-year-old girl he coerced through threats to release an inappropriate video of her.
According to Antigua.news, Sole Spencer appeared in court on June 26 and pleaded guilty to two counts of serious indecency and one count of sexual intercourse with a female under the age of 14, as reported by Wadadli Case Files.
The court heard that in 2024, Spencer came into possession of an inappropriate video featuring the complainant and used it to make sexual demands, pressuring her to meet him. He threatened to release the footage unless she complied — even after she told him she was a child.
Fearing the video would be circulated, the complainant agreed to meet Spencer. He led her to an abandoned house, where he performed oral sex on her, directed her to perform oral sex on him, and had unprotected sexual intercourse with her.
The offence came to light days later when the complainant's family discovered the video had already been shared. The girl disclosed what had happened, and the following day she and her mother attended the Special Victims Unit, where she gave a formal statement.
This is not Spencer's first conviction for crimes of this nature. In April, he was sentenced to 38 months in prison after being found guilty of raping a 13-year-old girl he had befriended on social media — a separate matter involving offences committed in 2022.
