By Belize Live News Staff: A Belize City woman says a protection order was not enough to keep her former partner away.
The 32 year old babysitter reported to police that her ex common law husband entered her Ebony Street home early Sunday morning while she was asleep.
She said he sexually assaulted her, choked her and took her cellphone before leaving the house.
The woman told police she has a protection order against the man that is valid for one year, though she was unable to locate the document at the time.
Police recorded her statement, issued medico legal forms and processed the scene.
The 42 year old man, a fisherman who also lives on Ebony Street, is wanted by police.
Anyone experiencing domestic violence is encouraged to contact the police or reach out to the Women’s Department for support. A violation of a protection order is a criminal offence.
