I hope that their success re-emphasizes: 1. The importance of innovation and that innovation should not be confined to academia 2. That we have talented and capable people who are world class in the region 3. The need for us to have a steady stream of Caribbean world beaters, so we should not only applaud their success - and the success of countless others - in forums such as this but at every opportunity in the main stream media and classrooms across the region.

We all know the law required was one which allowed the state to prosecute offenders and not a law which further exacerbates the situation by increasing the age of consent or effectively increasing the number of persons who captured in the statistics. Not to mention criminalising those who might be involved with a 17 yr old for example, what happens to those persons now?
