Police hunt for Sophia businessman for alleged child rape

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is currently looking for a Sophia, Greater Georgetown, businessman, who is reportedly evading a rape charge in relation to a child under 16 years.
The suspect, 32-year-old Timothy Fraser of “C” Field, Sophia Squatting Area, was arrested on September 6 at about 08:30h and placed in custody for rape of a child under sixteen years.
According to the Police, he remained in custody on $200,000 bail for about six days because he was unable to make bail, which had to be reduced for him to have pretrial liberty. This was done on September 15.
Meanwhile, the case file in relation to this matter was delayed, pending the forensic interview report. This was eventually obtained, and the matter was filed the following day on September 16, after advice was obtained for the suspect to appear before the court the next day.
But when the matter was called on September 17, the suspect failed to appear for his arraignment.
In a statement on Saturday, the Guyana Police Force said efforts were made on Friday to serve a summons on Fraser for him to attend court, but he could not be located at his Sophia home.
Up to Saturday evening, the GPF said a Wanted Bulletin was being prepared after it was indicated that the suspect might have “…left for the interior”.
