Colin Mack remanded on rape charge

Apr 16, 2009 News

Local promoter, Colin Mack, was yesterday remanded to prison by Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Mack was not required to plea to the indictable offence of rape.
It is alleged that the accused, on April 12, had sex with a 19-year-old woman without her consent. He is being represented by attorney at law Glenn Hanoman, who in an unsuccessful bid to secure bail for his client, told the court that Mack should be admitted to bail since he has a major show which is billed for the weekend and that he has pre-sold tickets.
Mack was nevertheless remanded to prison and is expected to make another court appearance on Friday.
According to reports, the victim who described her ordeal as harrowing was held against her will in a Festival City house for several hours. The teen said that although she shouted for help none of the neighbours, whose homes are within hearing distance, came to her rescue.
She claimed that she only managed to escape by hanging her naked body through a window until a taxi driver came to her rescue. The teen had told this newspaper that she was at a live show at the National Park on Saturday night.
After leaving the National Park, she was reportedly taken to a night spot in Alberttown and it is believed that something was placed into her drink since she became light-headed.
She said that she then asked to be taken home but instead was transported to another club in the city.
There she stayed in the car while the promoter spent about 15 minutes in the club.
Mack, instead of taking the teen to her residence in Charlestown, allegedly took her to his home in South Ruimveldt and kept there for some several hours until she was rescued.
