\"\"Two men were each convicted in separate cases of a sex crime on a minor and given a prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Both men were indicted for having unlawful sexual intercourse with a young girl who was entrusted in their care and were tried in a Magistrates Court.<\/p>\n

Kenneth George Mackey was initially brought up on the charge back in August of 2007 when it was alleged that he perpetrated the crime against the then 13-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

The trial opened in the Eight Mile Rock Court before Magistrate Gwendolyn Claude the same year.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old Pine Forest, Eight Mile Rock, man was represented by Attorney K. Brian Hanna.<\/p>\n

The young girl took the stand during the trial and told the court of that fateful incident.<\/p>\n

Mackey was found guilty and, on February 15, 2012, he was convicted and sentenced to three years at Her Majesty’s Prison for unlawful sexual intercourse with a dependent.<\/p>\n

In another case, 27-year-old Jeffrey Wellington Mackey, was charged with two counts of indecent assault.<\/p>\n

The Holmes Rock man was arraigned in March 2010 before Magistrate Claude.<\/p>\n

He was represented by Attorney Wallace Allen.<\/p>\n

During the course of the trial, the 10-year-old girl testified that Mackey touched her inappropriately on two occasions.<\/p>\n

He, too, was found guilty and convicted on February 15, 2012.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Claude sentenced the Holmes Rock man to nine months behind bars on each count to run concurrently.<\/p>\n

Police Corporal Kevin Williams was the prosecutor in both matters.<\/p>\n
