Azruddin Mohamed denies claims of sexual abuse of a teenage girl
…calls for full probe; willing to take polygraph test
Kaieteur News- Businessman and well-known philanthropist Azruddin Mohamed has denied claims of sexual abuse of a teenage girl. The businessman by way of a letter dispatched by his attorneys Eusi Anderson, Renea Marcus and Casside Nurse called for a full probe into the allegations.
Businessman, Azruddin Mohamed
“We take umbrage to the mention of Team Mohamed’s and any allegations of sexual impropriety against Mohamed. Team Mohamed’s and Azruddin Mohamed pledge their unwavering support to all victims of sexual assault, sexual abuse and exploitation. We remain disposed to assisting all victims of sexual abuse, sexual predation in whatever way we can. We implore the minor to make an official report and come forward to the authorities as soon as possible,” a statement by Mohamed’s lawyers said.
The businessman was accused of raping a 17-year-old girl during an interview broadcast by social media commentator Mikhail Rodrigues also known as the ‘Guyanese Critic’.
Mohamed through his lawyers vehemently and wholeheartedly refuted all claims of sexual misconduct, sexual impropriety or predatory sexual behavior against the minor child, and anyone else involved in the broadcast made by the alleged victim in the interview broadcast on February 10, 2025.
According to the statement, Mohamed is ready, willing and able to submit himself to any polygraph test, administered by competent professionals, be they at the FBI, Scotland Yard or any other International Agency to corroborate his denial of the allegations made against him.
The lawyers observed what they considered to be worrying aspects of the interview. They noted that it begs belief that a minor child appeared on a national, public interview, with her face obscured but her parents absent while being interviewed by another adult.
Mohamed’s lawyers reminded that there are laws that prescribe the manner in which these interviews are to be conducted questions ought to be asked and answers ought to be given forthwith, as to whether or not the minor child sought the proper help, in the proper sequence.
“It is our considered view that any victim of sexual exploitation and/or predation, especially a child, ought to have engaged the Police, first; second, the necessary medical, social healthcare and counselling professionals, and if as an after-thought the media, last. If it becomes clear that that sequence has not been followed, there are more questions than answers as result of the interview.”
