Eubanks was found guilty in the No. 2 Home Circuit Court recently of having carnal knowledge of a girl of 12.

Mr. W.T. Tomkinson appeared on his behalf while the Crown's case was conducted by Mr. L.L. Robotham.

Accused is alleged to have committed an offence against the complainant on August 21 last year, while she was on her way to a shop at Port Royal.
