The Chairman of an Essequibo NDC who allegations of attempted rape were made against is said to have reported voluntarily to the Leonora Police Station yesterday morning. The official reportedly recorded his statement, refuting the allegations made against him by the Parika couple.
Kaieteur News understands that the man was instructed by Acting Commander of the Police ‘D’ Division, Senior Superintendent Griffith to bring all his documents pertaining to his licensed firearm, along with his firearm, and surrender them to the Police. He was also granted permission to go ahead with a planned Cabinet Outreach programme which had been arranged for yesterday.
Up to press time the NDC Chairman had not been charged.
A prominent Attorney-at-Law, who is representing the couple, says that this was a judgement call by the Police. He said that if the police felt that, as a prominent member of the community the man could be trusted to do this, they would allow him to go ahead with his public commitments.
The attorney told the Kaieteur News that the allegations are very serious, especially in light of the recent assent to the Sexual Offences Bill that was recently signed by President Bharrat Jagdeo.
Meanwhile, reports reaching this newspaper state that shortly after the victim, who made the attempted rape allegation, left the Leonora Station late yesterday afternoon, she fell ill. Up to news time she was still undergoing medical checks.
