The highly anticipated sentencing of the fitness trainer who confessed to terrorising several women by sexually assaulting and robbing them in Portmore, St Catherine over a period of time, has again been delayed.
Chaddane Harris, who is also a gym instructor, was expected to be sentenced by High Court Judge, Justice Bertram Morrison, in the St Catherine Circuit Court on Thursday.
However, the judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation for the confessed sexual predator.
The sentencing has been rescheduled for October 11 to facilitate the evaluation being conducted, and the subsequent report being prepared and submitted to the prosecution and defence.
This is the second time that Harris’ sentencing has been delayed after he pleaded guilty in April to six counts of rape and four counts of grievous sexual assault.
Additionally, he pleaded guilty to nine counts of burglary and larceny, and one count of wounding with intent. The latter offence involved Harris stabbing one of his female victims.
The convict was further remanded in custody until October.
The allegations are that several women who were mainly single, were preyed upon by Harris between 2014 and 2019 in several communities in Portmore.
His modus operandi involved him holding up his victims at knifepoint, then sexually assaulting them and later robbing them of their personal items.
In one case, Harris stabbed a bank employee multiple times.

UV Vibe 2022 was an awesome celebration.
That was the general consensus as Loop interviewed patrons during and after UV at La Belle Lawns in Lower Estate, St George on Sunday, July 24.
Patrons had four food stations to choose from with the two main food buffets being catered by Tim’s Restaurant and the second by Sweetfield Manor. The others were provided by two sponsors.
There were at least nine bars at the all-inclusive breakfast party and therefore, patrons did not have to contend with long lines throughout the course of the morning. According to one interviewee: “I gaw control my eating… too much food!”
UV patrons truly feted from night to morning, from 2am to just after 10am. They saw the food dishes transition from breakfast to brunch and then lunch. There was even a tea and coffee station that offered Lucozade energy drinks once the sun came up.
SunMix girls along with Campari and Hennessy drink runners walked the crowd and kept the snacks and drinks flowing directly to patrons around the venue in their pumping spots.
And the icing on the proverbial cake for organiser Mario Turton was surprise shots for his birthday with Hypasounds, Fadda Fox and others on stage. Then though playing stage shy, he was back quickly on stage jumping with Fadda Fox as he sang “Do you remember UV in Prior Park? Ahhhhh!”
Watch the video to see how the vibes were up all morning long.

Detectives in St James arrested and charged a man with illegal possession of ammunition at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay in the parish on Saturday.
Charged is 27-year-old Austin Hornburger, a plumber of East County Road in Sunman, Indiana, USA.
Reports from the police are that Hornburger was in the process of checking in to depart the island about 8:52am. During routine checks, his bags were searched, and one magazine containing seventeen 9mm rounds of ammunition was reportedly seen inside a backpack he was carrying.
He was taken into custody.
Hornburger was formally charged after being interviewed in the presence of his attorney. His court date is being finalised, the police said.

Senator Damani Tabor is condemning the Gaston Browne Administration for its last-minute attempts to rush through several programmes on the eve of the general elections.
At present, several major roadways are being patched, fences are being repaired, infrastructure is being put in place, houses are under construction, and water tanks are being distributed across Antigua.
While these are projects that should have been undertaken over four years ago, the Antigua Labour Party Government makes no apology for failing to undertake them earlier, says Works Minister Lennox Weston.
Leaving things undone and then engaging in a flurry of activity in the lead-up to the polls is simply part of the Administration’s strategy, he said in a recent radio interview.
But Senator Tabor says these rush jobs are not satisfactory and the people will no longer be deceived by them.
Tabor, Public Relations Officer for the United Progressive Party, says the UPP will do a better job of running the country and of ensuring that the people benefit from its plans and programmes.
He reminds residents that the Labour Party Administration has embarked on many ventures during its eight-year tenure and most of these have failed or failed to materialize.
Accordingly, Tabor says, the last-minute rush will not make up for these broken promises.

Fraud-Accused Trio In Customs Racket Set For Court On Wednesday
Customs officer Joezine Christian and customs brokers Rowan Matthew and Foster George are to be taken before the court on Wednesday of this week on fraud charges.
The trio are spending the long holiday weekend in lock-up after being jointly charged last week with Conspiracy to Defraud.
In addition, the two brokers have been indicted for Obtaining Money by False Pretence, while customs officer Christian will also answer to additional charges, including corruption.
The charges were laid as part of a major, long-running probe into an alleged racket in which millions of government revenue was fleeced from the Customs and Excise Division.
Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Hon. Gaston Browne had first raised the alarm, indicating his signature had been forged as part of the insidious scheme.
Law enforcement officials have labeled this as a major breakthrough and the corollary of what they say has been a meticulous probe.
