SEX FIEND WANTED: Cops name Jeffrey Barnes as suspect in Red Bay rape
The 32-year-old is now wanted in connection with the abduction and sex attack of a 49-year-old woman on Saturday morning.
Yesterday detectives revealed how Barnes – who has been described as “very violent” – tried to lure an 11-year-old schoolgirl into his car three times on Saturday morning.
After he failed to snatch his prey the fiend cruised the streets of Cayman looking for another victim.
He eventually found a woman in Red Bay and bundled her into his red Honda Civic before taking her to nearby Admiral’s Landing and raping her around 10.30am.
Yesterday police took the unusual step of naming and releasing a photograph of Barnes who is also wanted on an unrelated assault charge.
Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden said yesterday: “He is a very violent and dangerous person.
“Under no circumstances should anyone approach him. If people know his whereabouts they should contact police immediately.
“We need to get him off the streets.”
Barnes is described as around five foot five inches tall with tattoos on his arms and neck.
Anyone with information is asked to call George Town CID 949-4222 or Crime Stoppers 800-8477 (TIPS). In an emergency always call 911.
