Man convicted of sex with teen

Walter Gray was jailed for 15 years after having sex with a minor

NASSAU- A man who claimed he was seduced by a child has been convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse.

Walter Gray, 29, is on remand, pending a sentencing hearing that will take place on February 28.

Prosecutors alleged that Gray and the girl had sex for the first time when he was 27 and she was 13. They had subsequent sexual encounters when she was 14.

Although the now 17-year-old victim testified that she asked Gray to take her virginity, she could not legally consent because she was under 16.

For his part, Gray tried to portray the child as fast and forward.

In his testimony, Gray claimed on one occasion, the girl put his penis in her mouth while he was trying to sleep.
