A teenage girl had to be consoled by her family after a confrontation with a sex attacker's family in a courtroom.

Shawn Gordon Eugene Smith, 29, of Sandys Parish, pleaded guilty earlier this week in the Supreme Court to having unlawful carnal knowledge with a girl between the ages of 14 and 16 on September 5 last year.

Smith, a father of three young children, was remanded in custody until May 20 when Puisne Judge Norma Wade-Miller will see a social inquiry report and sentence him.

The girl -- hiding her face and in tears -- was hustled from the courtroom while being consoled by her mother after a confrontation with Smith's family.

They shouted that she had been sexually active while her mother said: "The doctor confirmed it. She was not. He violated her!'' Mrs. Wade-Miller heard that Smith climbed a fence into the girl's family garden shortly after her mother had left the premises.

Crown counsel Charlene Scott said the girl was clearing a clothesline of washing when he walked up and offered to help.

After finding the clothes were still damp, she turned to return inside, but Smith pulled her close to him.

As she tried to walk away, he pushed her against a wall, penetrated her and ejaculated on her shirt two minutes later.

She did not offer resistance, Ms Scott said, because she was in fear of Smith but told him her father would be returning home soon.

The girl told her mother when she returned home later that evening.

She spent five days in hospital being treated for depression and required five more months of counselling.

Smith watched intently as the summary of facts was read out but reacted hotly when Det. Con. Jason Smith, the investigating officer, said he had a drug conviction.

Smith's lawyer Mark Pettingill asked Det. Con. Smith if there was another Shawn Smith from Sandys Parish with a drug conviction, which the officer denied.

After Mr. Pettingill challenged the Police record, Mrs. Wade-Miller said a drug conviction would not affect her decision, but suggested he clear the record up.

As he was about to be escorted from the courtroom after Mrs. Wade-Miller's departure, Smith pointed at Det. Con. Smith and said: "I'll see you later.'' It was then that the heated discussion started among the family members and even continued outside.
