A West Indies international cricketer is under serious scrutiny after at least 11 women, including a teenage cousin, accused him of rape, sexual assault, and harassment, as per a shocking report by Kaieteur News published on June 27, 2025.
Allegations Include:
- An 18-year-old girl assaulted in New Amsterdam, Berbice on March 3, 2023
- Attempts at monetary settlements by the cricketer’s entourage
- Claims of police stonewalling and pressure from influential family connections
- Voice notes, screenshots, and medical records submitted as evidence
Legal Complications and Delays
Prominent attorney Nigel Hughes, representing one of the survivors, revealed that:
- Initial complaints date back to early 2023
- Prosecutors had once recommended charges, but the matter “disappeared”
- Renewed inquiries in late June 2025 received no official update from Guyanese authorities
“The victims are exhausted, re-traumatised by repeated questioning, with no justice in sight,” Hughes said.
Family Rejects Bribes
One mother stated:
“We don’t want money. I want justice for what he did to my daughter.”
Families allege that attempts were made to bribe survivors into silence, and local police forces have been complicit in suppressing the case.
Cricketer Previously Arrested
The same player was reportedly arrested once before in a rape case involving a minor relative. However:
- The girl later withdrew her statement
- The case was closed with no charges filed
Celebrated Amid Controversy
Shockingly, the accused cricketer:
- Was part of the West Indies Test squad that beat Australia at the Gabba in January 2024
- Received a hero’s welcome in Guyana, despite the cloud of allegations
CWI Responds
When approached, Cricket West Indies (CWI) issued a statement via President Kishore Shallow:
“CWI is unaware of the circumstances and, therefore, is not in a position to comment at this time.”
CWI added that no official documentation has been received from Guyanese authorities.
Summary
The unfolding scandal places pressure on law enforcement and cricketing bodies to act with transparency. As more survivors step forward with evidence, and with the accused still active in the cricketing circuit, calls for justice are growing louder.
