HEADLINE: There is a monster on the cricket field

There is a monster on the cricket field.

He doesn’t haunt dreams. He walks tall and proud in broad daylight, wearing maroon, representing the West Indies on the global stage.

He’s celebrated, cheered for, idolized. But to the women he has violated, he is not a hero. He is a predator.

This cricketer is Guyanese. And as I write this column, I have heard accounts from no fewer than eleven women, one of them a teenager who allege that they have been sexually assaulted, raped, or subjected to unwanted sexual advances by him.

There is a monster in maroon, and his violence hides behind a ball and a cheering crowd.

Recently, Kaieteur News reported on an incident involving this player just before he departed Guyana.

Some very serious allegations are implied here, including high government officials in a cover-up.

Police were involved in investigations in 2023???

Was CWI aware of such allegations?

Be Aware!!!! Alleged Rape Allegations against Guyanese Fast Bowler Cricketer ����

He must be given the opportunity to prove his innocence, but what is puzzling is the article mentions 11 rapes???

Dear Sirs,

I am writing to you both regarding a recent video circulating online, which casts troubling statements about your respective offices’ responses to reported actions against eleven women who were allegedly raped in Guyana.

Given the gravity of these allegations and the significant public concern they have generated, I respectfully request your official response to the matters raised. Specifically, I would like to know if the statements and representations made in the video are accurate and whether the actions—or inactions—attributed to your offices reflect the actual circumstances.

Ensuring transparency and upholding the rights of victims are of utmost importance. I trust that your offices are committed to addressing these concerns with the seriousness they deserve and to taking any necessary steps in the interest of justice and accountability.

I look forward to your prompt and considered response.

Sincerely,

Sarge

Sarge, no one is called upon to prove his innocence. the prosecutor must prove his guilt.

In reply to sgtdjones

Good luck with that sarge.....innocent "until" proven guilty...so relax yuhself!!!

In reply to sgtdjones

Some serious allegations in that video, really would make it seem like the Caribbean top brass covering for a monster

If she is right, then even CWI has a part to play in this

can't watch, it is disturbing!

A sudden state of melancholy has befallen I and I. Oh my goodness! Gosh

True or not I do not now know if I can watch tomorrow's play. Depressing from all sides after watching.
If true bear in mind rape is a heinous act. If false, oh don't know what to say.

I feel the same, the game feels tainted

Ditto

At the press conference today I was showering him with praise. I was already writing my next piece on him. Then I just got back to the hotel and saw this. I am devastated because there is the possibility that it may be true. I don't feel like going to the game tomorrow.

Attorney for one victim Nigel Hughes speaks Link

this is a black cloud hovering over this match and wi cricket and when the international media get hold of this it going to get even worse.

The title of this thread alone fcukup the mood for the game…
I’m not one to jump to conclusions.
Small villages in Guyana how can the number grow to eleven without some sort of intervention?

What’s the real story here?

Popularity/money brought out the exposure? <—targeted for the same reasons?

In reply to Raskil

Watch the Hughes interview the person he is representing doesn’t want a financial settlement they want criminal prosecution.

In reply to Joshua

Please PM me
I haven’t seen any videos

In reply to Raskil

I posted the link in my previous post Nigel Hughes is the lawyer for one of the victim he was hired yesterday.

WI cricketer accused of sexual assault in Guyana

The above was an advanced thread....

It got me calling contacts in the Caribbean that led me to a video, posted above.

So young , so talented , so sad. sigh

In reply to Brerzerk

This is terrible!

I feel the same way...awful.

I didn't watch a single ball bowled yesterday..

While I don’t condone what have been alleged, one has to wonder why these revelations are only now being made public.
There is something bigger at play here, given the timing. This is not to diminish the accusations leveled at this individual. This has everything to do with the upcoming presidential election in Guyana.
The people who have chosen this particular time to bring this to the fore are known political adversaries of the Irfaan Ali/Bharat Jagdeo administration. Don’t let them fool you with their sympathies towards the victims. Their sole purpose is to use this opportunity to expose the incompetence of the PPP government. You don’t believe me, go research MellyMel and Attorney Hughes. There is a whole lot at stake.
P.S. I have never voted in Guyana and have no political affiliation.

In reply to StumpCam

Hughes was only retained on Wednesday by the alleged victim.

In reply to StumpCam

Mmmmm, I didn't know that our colleague anthonyp was a politician. He was the first one to post on the subject here.

We live and learn.

In reply to StumpCam

Secondly it’s kaiteur News who reported it first and SportsMax which is not based in Guyana has also said they have obtained and seen evidence.

In reply to StumpCam

I concur an i had already alluded to that in my recent post....WHY NOW!!!....an again not making light of the victim/victims allegations.... on another note i would urge ppl not to read too much into the alleged victim/victims saying they dnt want compensation only justice....Gt ppl know what's what....so will leave that there!!!
