Ian Alleyne goes to court today

Ian Alleyne, the popular TV6 host is expected to be sentenced today, at the Port of Spain magistrates Court. Two weeks ago he pleaded guilty to the three charges contrary to the Sexual Offences Act. He also faces an additional charge of resisting an officer in the execution of his duties. He however pleaded not guilty to that charge.

Alleyne was charged after he aired a video on three seperate occasions of a 13 year old girl being raped. Om Lalla, attorny for Alleyne, said he accepted that he had broken the law by showing the video, but he did not air it out of malice toward the victim or her family.
