Rape Case Against Two Police Officers Discontinued After Alleged Court Order Violations
The Director of Public Prosecutions has formally discontinued rape charges against two police officers following allegations that the complainant breached court orders.
The DPP filed a nolle prosequi on Monday, ending the trial that had begun earlier this month before Justice Ann-Marie Smith and a nine-member jury.
Defence attorney Andrew Okola brought information to the court’s attention that may have led to the discontinuation. He reported that before the trial started, the complainant had given case materials and information to social media personality ‘Mongoose,’ who then published them on his platform to thousands of followers. According to Okola, these materials constituted evidence that should have remained confidential to the court proceedings.
The defence counsel also informed the court that throughout the trial, the complainant had been in communication with another individual about the case, which violated court orders.
The charges stemmed from allegations dating back more than seven years to an incident on May 12, 2017.
