Man Sentenced for Assaulting 5 Females, Including Minors

Ashton Lamb was given two years in prison after he attacked and assaulted five females in Belize City last week.  Today, he saved a lot of the court’s time when he pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual assault, 2 counts of common assault and 2 counts of harm upon four minors and an adult, all whom he sexually assaulted.  The harassment took place in several Belize City locations, including on the overpass near Pallotti High School, in the vicinity of Nazarene High School on Princess Margaret Drive and on Coney Drive.  Magistrate Ludlow Black sentenced him to two years for each count, with the sentences to run concurrently, totaling two years.  The victims were between ages 12 and 15 as well as a 21-year-old woman.  In the multiple cases, Lamb grabbed them on the breasts, attempted to harm them and got caught up in a physical altercation with two of them when they attempted to defend themselves.    He was additionally fined eight hundred dollars for the first and second incidents of harm, and four hundred dollars for the two common assault charges.  Love News understands that this is not Lamb’s first case of a sexual nature.  Back in 2016, the 35-year-old was convicted of sexual assault and was given a 2-month prison sentence.  Incidentally, his brother Leon Lamb, was just remanded to prison last week on a rape charge.
