MONTEGO BAY, St James — A serial rapist, who was earlier this year charged with the 2012 rape of five females, including an eightyear- old girl in Irwin Point, St James, pleaded guilty when he appeared in the Western Regional Gun Court yesterday afternoon.

The accused, 27-year-old Patrick Green of May Pen, Clarendon, will be sentenced on Thursday, March 12. He was represented by attorney-at-law Trevor Holyn.

Green, whose DNA matched samples that investigators found at the scene of the brutal rape of the five females in Irwin Point, was charged in connection with the incident in January this year.

The DNA result also implicated the accused, who was already in custody for other unsolved rape cases in western Jamaica, Clarendon and other sections of the island.

One of the other rapes for which he was arrested also occurred in Irwin Point. Police said Green had previously been convicted for several rapes.

About 10:30 on the night of September 24, 2012, armed thugs invaded a home in Irwin Point and forced four adult females and the child to a nearby open lot where all five were sexually assaulted.

Brothers Kerron and Sheldon Brissett were subsequently charged for the brutal 2012 rape of five females, but they were exonerated after almost a year behind bars when DNA results failed to place them at the crime scene. They have since sued the State.
