A jury of nine failed to reach a verdict in the rape trial of Hubert Rolle.
Rolle is accused of using his finger to penetrate a 10-year-old girl on three occasions in 2003.
He told the court the victim’s mother was taking revenge on him because he would not give her $500 for an abortion.
The girl, now 16, told the court that Rolle had given her $1 after one of the attacks. During his testimony, Rolle said, “I never gave her anything when I bother with her”.
Prosecutor Eucal Bonaby said by saying this, Rolle had accidentally confessed.
