EMT found guilty of indecently assaulting child
(CNS): An EMT with the Health Services Authority, Selvin Senon Caballero (41) has been convicted of sexual assault on a child. Following a judge alone trial last month, acting Grand Court judge, Justice Michael Wood delivered his guilty verdicts, Thursday. He said he found both Caballero and his wife who gave evidence on his behalf “unimpressive” witnesses but the victim who gave evidence on video and was cross examined was “compelling and persuasive”.
Caballero was said to have assaulted his victim on numerous occasions over a five year period from when the child was just seven years old between 2015 and 2020. He had known the little girl since she was born as she was a family friend. When his sexual behaviour towards the child escalated she told an adult about what had happened who notified the police.
A Honduran-Caymanian, Caballero was arrested in 2020. After his conviction, yesterday, despite facing a custodial sentence the court allowed his bail to continue with strict conditions as the judge said he believed getting the necessary pre-sentencing reports would be easier if he was not in jail. A sentence hearing has been scheduled for August.
CNS has contacted the HSA and health ministry to find out Caballero’s employment status with the hospital.
So basically what you are saying is this child molester is still on the streets. Shameful
Why is our laws so lenient when it comes to other nationalities? It seems Jamaicans and Cayman males gets the brunt of the full extent of the law. What ever happened to the coke dealer that was a director almost 3 years and case gone silent? Why the container full of weapons and ammunition in cayman brac gone dead? Why is the drugs at the police station gone awol? Why is the importer of illegal guns on bail? Yet a Caymanian male with a spliff is locked up and his future wiped away. Asking for a friend?
Long jail sentence then deport!
What is this world coming to? A guilty verdict for raping a child and this piece s#%t gets bail. What happens if he reoffends whilst bail? Will you take full responsibility Mr. Judge?
All Caymanians, even half-caymanians, are allowed to get bail for any crimes except murder and manslaughter. So whether it’s rape, GBH, or child abuse, they can get out till sentencing. Don’t like it ? Then tell your MP. Get the law changed.
Strange that these bail options don’t apply equally to non-caymanians.
Pig…hope it’s gonna be a real sentence for
once. Waiting 3 years for a pedophile to get his day in court is a joke. And of course he was on full pay while out and about and working “on the side” smh…Let’s pray for the precious girl that she gets the help to overcome the abuse.
Let me get this straight. A CONVICTED sex offender is found GUILTY and will be going to JAIL and is currently allowed to be free amongst the rest of us while the courts wait 3 months to decide how long he stays locked up for?
Dear lord help us all
Any chance of a status revocation and deportation after sentence? Just askin.
Call me dumb but can someone explain what the hell the judge meant when he said ” he believed getting the necessary pre- sentencing reports would be easier if he was not in jail” will the accused rapist be collecting this information himself? I hope he doesn’t hitch a ride to another country.
Surely the Minister of Health will terminate his employment!
Has any Miniater of health ever done anything like punishing chid abusers?
Minister of what? Please!
His employment status was probably no different than that of DJ Rapist while he was on bail awaiting trial. Employed by CIG with FULL PAY
Once again a judge lets a convicted criminal loose on bail who is absolutely going to get a custodial sentence. He should have gone directly from the courtroom to prison. Whose policy is this? Time to get serious about crime.
Like many selectively-pious religious societies, Cayman has become a safe haven for alcoholism, drug abuse, extreme chauvinism, international misogynists, male-ego and economic power, perverts, sexual predators, serial date rapers, and beaters for years. Many of the trusted enforcement arms are themselves implicated or parties to the abuse. It’s all past time. In 2023, victims need to feel safe to come forward without being named and themselves blamed publicly for the abuse. The RCIPS need to be retrained in how to accept reports’ nd take them seriously, with the focus put on removing predators from society, instead of punishing those that with the guts to come forward. A long road ahead.
Nothing to do with his religion, if any. What are you on about?
Cayman’s community, which counts itself religious, gives space to male abusers. Just a statement of fact.
7.19 You are being really selective and biased with your post. This happens all over the world not just Cayman.
Standard anti-God drivel posted ad nauseum by the basement dweller.
I’m not the OP, but I’d agree that small communities + church societies make it much easier to hide objectively bad behaviour.
Eg. “Yes, I’ve heard the rumours that he beats his wife behind closed doors, but he is a good man and always gets early to church events to set up the tables. We all have our flaws and God will pass judgement.”
Two things happen here: First, in small communities you’re likely know the perpetrator and it is hard to put the bad and good sides together in the same person. Secondly, the bible had 10 hard rules (Exodus 20:2-17) and the rest is more like guidance with ultimately “God will judge”. So it’ll all work out in the end, won’t it? In this case, not for the wife.
Please note: I am absolutely NOT saying church communities are bad. I’m saying that small church comminities make it easier for shady people to HIDE IN THEM. The ones who feign goodness need to be outed.
There are no gods.
Cayman sounds fun
After living here all my life I can assure you, It ain’t all fun.
Apparently, something is missing! I think it is intelligence.
He need burn in hell, simple.
Hell is not real. Let’s go with Northward instead.
Many like him out there. Come on people that see these things happening or when children come to you about this happening, please please let the authorities know. Let’s stop the cycle.
