The victim, now a 17 year-‘old explained that Sylvester would enter her room, pull his pants down and take her hand to himself. She also explained that he would touch her vaginal area with his hand when she was about 10. Another incident she recalled was when he took her to his room, locked the door, yelled at her for disciplinary reasons and got on top of her.
