– ‘My only son turned 15 last month’

“I think the President should look into who he putting into position…He can’t be picking (sexual) predators…look me child is a prey to he…I really, really mad about this”

The mother of the 15-year-old schoolboy from whom Kwame McCoy solicited sex during a recorded telephone conversation is upset that the President has sexual predators working at Office of the President.

This newspaper visited the home of the young man’s mother. She telephoned her son who identified himself as Julius.

According to the woman, her only son confirmed that he was the person on the recording.

According to the woman, who is also single parent, when issues regarding high profile officials such as the McCoy incident are reported in the press, then people have to be fearful for their lives.

“I think the President should look into who he putting into position…He can’t be picking (sexual) predators…Look me child is a prey to he…I really, really mad about this.”

The visibly upset woman also lamented the fact that it made no sense complaining to the President because he would not take any action, “as usual.”

Yesterday, reporters listened in on a conversation between the 15-year-old (born August, 18, 1994) and his mother. They heard him admit that it was indeed his voice on the recording.

According to Julius, he met McCoy at the Conference Centre and he had told him that he wanted to open a youth group in Linden. He said that he collected McCoy’s phone number and from then they started conversations.

The boy told his mother that at one time he had told McCoy that he was traveling to Georgetown and that he would be staying by his aunt. He said that McCoy suggested that his friend owned Sleep-in and that he could stay there and not worry about any payments.

This fact came out in the recorded conversation. The hotel was not named.

The youth stated that he called McCoy at his office in the Presidential Complex and when his mother asked how he knew which number to call, the youth said that McCoy had called him from it several times before.

The youth told his mother that McCoy had given him money on more than one occasion. He said that McCoy also gave him a cellular phone.

He explained to his mother that he had rejected some calls from McCoy and when McCoy did make contact with him he told McCoy that his phone had a problem. This caused McCoy to give him a phone.

The youth told his mother that McCoy did tell him that having sex with a man was no different to having sex with a woman.

One of the boy’s cousins who was present at Julius’ mother’s house last evening, said that there was one time when Julius told him that he had a friend that was taking him out and invited him to tag along.

The cousin said that at the time he did not know Kwame McCoy’s face, only his reputation so when they got into the car he did not know it was him.

He said that the man introduced himself as Kwame and he said that they had to go to a meeting first in Sophia before they could go out.

He said that when the car got to Sophia he heard the people saying “Look Kwame McCoy coming.” It was at that time, he said, that he realised just who Julius’ friend was.

He said that McCoy had caused the friendship between him and Julius to go sour because he had continued to advise his cousin against being friends with McCoy. Julius started to distance himself, he added.

The young man explained that he knew when Julius collected the phone, given that it was at a time when they were both in Georgetown. He said that Julius had asked him to accompany him to Office of the President to collect the phone.

The young man said that the phone that was given to him was a Razor Gold.

The recording of the controversial conversation is circulating on the internet and was aired on the website www.guyanaobservernews.org run by Mark Benschop, Friday evening.

According to Benschop, he is currently playing the recorded conversation after each hour of music on his website’s online radio.

It features a conversation that is sexual in nature and captures a moment of heartbreak over a failed sexual liaison.

When Kaieteur News contacted Mr. McCoy at his home on Saturday, the President’s liaison, refused to go on record to deny that his was one of the voices on the recording.

Since the recording was first aired, people have telephoned to say that McCoy should not be a member of the Rights of the Child Commission. Some want him to resign as Liaison to the President.
