ALSO READ:
An article on the Kaieteur News website dated June 24 has stated that a woman has confirmed sexual abuse by the player.
The article also reads, “This is not the first time the player’s name has been associated with similar allegations. Kaieteur News has learned of at least four instances, with one prior incident that was reported to the police, where a statement was taken. However, that matter reportedly did not progress to formal charges and quietly faded from public view.”
Talking about evidence, as per Kaieteur News, includes photos of the injuries the survivor (Jane Doe for reference to protect the identity of the woman) sustained when the said sexual offences occurred. Jane Doe has also shared WhatsApp (a messaging service application) screenshots of her chats with the player. The conversations surround the player apologising for his actions and urging Jane Doe to keep the matter private. In order to hide the matter under the carpet, the player offered monetary compensation, which was refused by Jane Doe.
As per further investigation by the above-mentioned sources, the issue and a set of complaints go back to 2022. However, Jane Doe’s complaints often went unheard.
Another article on Kaieteur News by Rawle Toney, dated June 26, states that at least 11 women, including a teenager, have been sexually assaulted.
The name of the player remains unnamed. A string of complaints and consistent developments on the event by Jane Doe add to the credibility of the report. Additionally, with multiple women pointing fingers at the same person, the issue is being pushed for a thorough investigation by the officials.
