A student of a Georgetown Bible college on Monday appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts after he was slapped with a rape charge.
Samuel Whaul of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan. The case was heard in camera.
The prosecution is contending that the 25-year-old theology student reportedly raped his 21-year-old colleague.
It is alleged that Whaul, on October 25, 2018, while in the vicinity of Georgetown, engaged in sexual penetration with the young woman without her consent. Following the incident, a report was made to the police and Whaul was recently arrested. He was released on $200,000 bail. As a condition for bail, the unrepresented man was ordered to stay away from the VC. The case will continue on February 25, 2019.
