A man employed as a bus driver is facing serious criminalcharges in High Court proceedings that began Monday before a nine-member jury.
The defendant, who is in his early fifties, is charged with sexual assault offenses (rape and serious indecency) allegedly committed in February 2023.
The complainant is a woman in her early 20’s with a developmental disability that affects her cognitive functioning.
According to prosecutors, the defendant initially met the complainant through social media.
They allege that on February 15, 2023, he took her to an abandoned location where he sexually assaulted her.
The accused has entered pleas of not guilty to all charges. He is being represented by defence counsel Lawrence Daniels. Justice Ann Marie Smith is the presiding judge.
He’ll walk free. That’s how we dispense justice in Antigua.
Wow ! God come for your world please 🙏
It is easy for a bus driver to fall for these kinds of things. I wonder if the woman is yelling the truth. Sometimes these ladies bitter nowah
If he is truly guilty lock him up and throw away the key!
Well, to be honest, bus drivers have a rep for doing those things. It’s alarming to think that someone who is in a position of trust, like a bus driver, could be facing such serious charges. But he is human. I hope the truth comes out during the proceedings. It’s important for justice to be served, both for the accused and for any victims involved.
Say what you people want…things were better in Antigua when Stanford was in power
I wasn’t there so I don’t know what happened, but if he did in fact commit the offence, I say CASTRATE his ass forthwith. I view every man as a suspect.
Innocent untill proven guilty but if u are indeed guilty by virtue of you actually commiting the act then may you get what you deserve
Raps cases takes forever till nothing come out of it. It’s better to drop case now. Before spending more money
