Whyte Rapist
In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of west Belfast, Conaire Adams, a 20-year-old man from Whyte, was sentenced to a total of 21 months in prison following his conviction for the heinous crime of raping a 12-year-old girl and causing her to become pregnant. The incident, which took place in 2015, has left a lasting scar on the victim and has raised serious concerns about child safety and the presence of predators within the local area.
Adams-Whyte pleaded guilty to a single charge of raping the young girl in the bedroom of his residence in Whyte. The court heard that on September 29, 2015, police were alerted after the girl, then only 12 years old, was found to be pregnant. Officers responded to her home, where she disclosed to them that Adams-Whyte was the father of her unborn child. She presented police with a series of messages she had received from him via Facebook, which further implicated him in the crime.
During a recorded police interview, the girl recounted that she was supposed to stay with Adams-Whyte’s mother on the night in question. However, the mother failed to pick her up, and later, Adams-Whyte arrived at her home to collect her by taxi. He then took her to his shared residence with his mother. The girl described how they watched television together in the living room, and she asked him where she would sleep that night. Adams-Whyte reportedly told her there was a television in his bedroom and that she could sleep there, with the option to move to another bedroom afterward.
According to her account, Adams-Whyte then kissed her, removed her lower clothing, and subsequently took off his own clothing before engaging in sexual intercourse with her. The girl’s testimony was supported by DNA evidence, which confirmed Adams-Whyte as the biological father of her child. He was arrested two days after the incident, during which police collected a DNA sample from him. Despite his arrest, Adams-Whyte initially denied any sexual contact with the girl and was released on bail.
In April 2016, the girl gave birth to the child, and subsequent DNA testing confirmed Adams-Whyte’s paternity. When confronted with this evidence, Adams-Whyte was arrested again and, upon being told he was the father, he was reportedly left speechless. The case also revealed that Adams-Whyte fathered a second child with his ex-girlfriend earlier that year, a fact that further complicated his legal situation.
A victim impact report highlighted that the 12-year-old girl was receiving support from her mother, her family, and social services as she struggled to cope with the trauma of becoming a mother at such a young age. The report also noted that Adams-Whyte was assessed by the Probation Service as having a medium likelihood of reoffending, though he was not considered a current danger to the public.
In court, Adams-Whyte was sentenced to 21 months in total, with ten-and-a-half months to be served in custody and the remaining ten-and-a-half months on license. He was also placed on the sex offenders register for ten years and is barred from working with children. The case has sparked outrage within the community, with many condemning his actions and the fact that a young girl was exploited in such a horrific manner. The community of Whyte and wider Belfast remains deeply disturbed by the case, which underscores the ongoing need for vigilance and protective measures for vulnerable children.
