Alleged gang rape…Teen to soon give statement to police

Feb 06, 2015 News

The 18-year-old man, who alleged that he was drugged and raped by 10 men in a house at Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara (WCD) on Old Year’s Night is currently at home.
He will soon provide police with a statement, so that they can proceed with their investigation into his rape claim.
A young man who was accused of organizing the group of men to sexually assault the teenager was arrested and subsequently placed on bail.
Police were waiting on the teen to be discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) to take a statement so that they could continue with their investigations.
The injured teenager was first hospitalized at GPHC before he was transferred to the New Amsterdam Psychiatric Hospital in Berbice. He was sent home last week.
His mother in an interview with this newspaper yesterday said that her son is walking and now trying to communicate, after more than a month.
She added that as soon as her son recovers completely, he will provide the police with a statement.
To date, the police investigation has been at a standstill, since the teenager was previously in and out of consciousness.
He had alleged that he was raped by 10 men, including his friend.
A medical report has confirmed that he had been sodomized.
In an interview, the teen’s mother said, around 16:00 hrs on December 31, last, the teen left his home to attend an Old Year’s Night party with a friend. She told this publication that her son did not return home that night.
“The next day (New Year’s Day) about five o’clock in the afternoon, I get a call from my son’s friend. He said that my son would sleep by him the night and come home the next day (Friday, January 2), and I said that was okay,” the mother recounted.
She added that later that (New Year’s) night, she received another call from her son’s friend.
“He call and tell me that he sending my son in a taxi, but my son reach home till around 11 o’clock that night. He came with a car and as soon as the car stop, he run out,” the mother of nine said.
“My son was in a terrible condition. He was scared for his life; he was nervous, his body was trembling and I could see he was in pain.”
According to the devastated mother, at that point she did not question the teen much, since he was in too much discomfort.
She said that he later asked to use the washroom.
“I hold him up, but he couldn’t defecate. He was just shaking and he was crying out for belly pain. When he wiped himself, there was a lot of blood on the tissue and I hold him up and put him to lie down on a bed.”
The mother said that when she questioned her son, he related the dreadful news to her.
“He said that his friend jook he with a needle, he and about nine other men rape him in a house.”
She said that the teenager’s arm was swollen which seemed to indicate that he had indeed been injected.
The woman said that her son told her that the men then locked him in the house and later went back for him.
“He said that the boys took him somewhere and they were going to shoot him, but a lady see and shout, and tell him to run. He run and jump in a taxi and the car bring him home,” the mother said.
