Carnal knowledge accused walks free
Kenroy Fraser
A 12-member jury yesterday unanimously found carnal knowledge accused, Kenroy Fraser, not guilty.
After approximately one and a half hours of deliberation the jury returned to say that after examining the evidence they found him not guilty of the offence and as such he was released.
The presiding judge, Justice James Bovell-Drakes told Fraser to take it as an eye-opener as to how to conduct himself in the future.
None of Fraser’s relatives or friends was in court at the time. Fraser, who was unrepresented, was charged with having carnal knowledge with a girl under the age of 15 years in November 2007 at Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara.
Several witnesses testified in the matter since its commencement earlier in the month among them, the virtual complainant, her brother, the officer who took her to the hospital to be examined, Police Constable Coletta Jones and the police officer who contacted the accused and told him of the allegation, Police Constable Mohanram Doloi gave evidence. State prosecutors were Prithima Kissoon, Dion McCammon and Dianna Boyan.
