A man convicted of raping a policeman’s girlfriend, after promising to help recover her stolen $33,000 cellular phone, will be sentenced at the Home Circuit Court today.

The man, Kayon Dixon, was found guilty on Tuesday for the April 2005 rape at Payne Avenue in the Three Miles area of Kingston, the capital.

The court was told that the woman was at Three Miles when a man grabbed her phone. During a struggle the man bit the woman on her hand and fled with the instrument.

While standing there crying, two women approached her, saying that they had seen what had happened and that she should follow them to the nearby Payne Avenue as they knew the person who had stolen the phone.

The women then took the victim to Dixon, who guaranteed the return of her phone and that she was to follow him. While on their way, Dixon dragged her into a yard and raped her on a piece of sponge in an outside bathroom, then took her back to the top of the road where the two women were.

The victim eventually met up with her boyfriend, who took her to the Hunts Bay Police Station where the matter was reported. That same night, the victim went back to the area with the police where she saw one of the two women who took her to Dixon, using the stolen cell phone. Dixon was arrested some time later.

Dixon told the court on Tuesday that he and his victim only had sex after entering into an arrangement that she would sleep with him upon the return of the phone – and that they went to his house and had sex after he was successful in recovering the instrument.
