Three men have been slapped with abduction charges after they allegedly attempted to book a room at a motel in the company of three under-aged girls on Sunday. The motel is located on Port Henderson Road, an unofficial red-light district known as ‘Back Road’.

The men were all charged with abduction of a child under the age of 16.

The men have been identified as Kenrick Mullings, a self-employed 19-year-old of a Braeton Phase 1 address; Ricky Smallings, a 21-year-old self-employed male of a Braeton Phase 1 address and Andre Barrett, a 19-year-old unemployed male of a 7 East, Greater Portmore address.

Allegations are that the three men attempted to book a room at a popular motel for a Sunday afternoon sex romp on Port Henderson Road with three girls. OBSERVER ONLINE understands that the three girls, aged 12, 13 and 13, had left their homes to meet up with the men on Sunday afternoon.

However, a concerned citizen made a report, the police responded and all six were held by the police. The three suspects are in custody at the Greater Portmore lock-up.

The three girls are now in state care.

The court date is being finalised.
