Row over sex lands couple in court

Sep 03, 2013 News

A row over a woman’s refusal to have sex with her estranged lover landed a young couple in court charged for assaulting each other.
Ann Maria Budhram had taken her son to his father for them to spend quality time together, but as she was about to leave the man Alston reportedly assaulted her after she denied his request for sex.
Presiding over the case yesterday was Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court.
The court heard that on August 23, at Lot 37 Shopping Plaza, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, 19-year-old Edwards unlawfully assaulted Budhram, 20 of Lot 165 First Street, Montrose, East Coast Demerara.
It is also alleged that Budhram assaulted Edwards during the incident.
The couple pleaded not guilty to their individual charges.
Court documents revealed that the couple has been separated for some time. On the said date, Budhram went to the defendant’s home at South Ruimveldt, since she would normally take her son to his father’s home. The defendant and his reputed wife then had a discussion in the bedroom about their son after which he began to make sexual advances. The complainant refused and the assailant got annoyed. Edwards then pushed Budhram and dealt her several slaps to the face.
The complainant retaliated and punched the defendant to the face.
Reports were made and couple was charged with the said offences.
While the unemployed defendants were released on self bail, they were, however, ordered to attend counseling at the Help & Shelter and were placed on a bond to keep the peace pending the outcome of the matter.
The couple is expected to return to court on September 30.
