Further investigation delaying “Otisha’s” arraignment

The much anticipated court appearance of Otis “Otisha” Pearson is said to have been delayed due to the need for further investigations.
This statement has come from Guyana Police Force (GPF) Public Relations Officer Jairam Ramlakhan. In a brief telephone interview, Ramlakhan explained, “The Police were supposed to carry out further investigations and then return the file.”
Pearson was expected to make a court appearance on Monday, March 12, but that

appearance was delayed. However, it is rumoured that the wait may be over, as Police ranks have disclosed that Pearson will appear at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts today. He is likely to be charged for sexual acts committed against a child.
The issue unravelled when Pearson attempted to publically clear his name of murder allegations. The popular cross-dresser was implicated in the murder of Hemchand Dalchand, also called “Rakesh”, of Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara (ECD) whose body was discovered in the vicinity of Oleander Gardens, ECD. In the redemption interview, Pearson stated that he has “a little boy for everyday of the week”. The statement received high amounts of criticism from citizens.
Subsequently, Pearson took to another interview to clear his name. The embattled sex worker stated that “little boys” was a term he frequently uses to address his colleagues in the LGBTcommunity. The following week, photos of Pearson and a young man who appeared to be under aged surfaced on social media site Facebook. Reports were that the young man is 15 years old; the age of consent in Guyana being 16.
Following public outcry, Guyana Times had reached out to the Childcare and Protection Agency (CC&PA) Director Ann Greene who divulged that the Agency was carrying out an investigation into the allegations against Pearson. The CC&PA is said to have spoken with the young man in question and his family, which lead to the suggestion for arrests to be made. Pearson was arrested on Monday of last week and has since been in lock-ups undergoing questioning.
