Mt Gay resident “raped and pregnant” by staff

Mt Gay Psychiatric Hospital

  • Female resident at Mt Gay Psychiatric facility for over a year due to mental breakdown
  • Forced sex matter reported to hospital management; apparently, no action taken
  • Perpetrators identified to police

An investigation is ongoing into what can be described as an institutionalised “rape and pregnancy” of a resident at the Mt Gay Psychiatric Hospital.

The young lady who completed university education but experienced a mental breakdown a few years ago has been residing at the facility for over a year. However, recently she told her family that she wants to be removed from the facility.

“She insisted that she needed to get out, and it was at that point she informed her mother about the ongoing sexual assault which she alleged was done by 2 male staff on various occasions, and then the shocking confirmation of the pregnancy,” said a close family friend.

The matter is under investigation by the Sex Crimes Unit and the victim has already given statements to the relevant police officers.

It is understood that when the forced sex started, the young lady reported the matter to the management of the hospital, but apparently, no action was taken to protect her from the perpetrators whom she was able to identify to the police.

    She reported it why wasn’t a safeguarding put place SOVA…regardless of her MHS even if she’s lying or not SOVA should be put in place, where it be the individuals in question be placed on another unit or so while an internal investigation is done simple….standard procedures, I feel really bad for the young lady, more to add to whatever breakdown she’s had now she’s gotta deal with this PTSD hmmm…I’ve seen similar situations like this b4 as MH Facilitator.

    You have provided us a platform to raise or discuss legitimate concerns, this very emotive subject, THE RAPE OF VERY VULNERABLE PATIENTS BY MULTIPLE STAFF MEMBERS). It is therefore important that you give some topics more exposure than other topics.

      She reported the rape to the hospital and was IGNORED !!! Now give this woman an abortion if she so chooses. Lock up the perverts who did this. Enough of the constant abuse of women and girl children on Grenada. What is the matter with the men on Grenada. Seems the only things on their brains is ganja, rum and sex.
