The accused was represented by Attorney-at-law Patrice Henry who told the court that his client was charged six years ago for the same offence and at the time he was employed with the Guyana Police Force and is still an active member.
The lawyer was able to secure bail for his client in the sum of $70,000.
The father of one will make his next court appearance on July 24.
Clementson was charged in 2011 for raping a 20-year-old police recruit. According to information the young recruit had been under pressure from the sergeant about an inappropriate relationship. However since the recruit decided not to give in to his superior’s request he was subjected to victimization on the job.
According to reports, the recruit decided to confide in two senior officers asking for advice and assistance. One of the officers is said to be an Inspector and the other an Assistant Superintendent who told the victim that a ‘sting operation’ would be set up to net the sergeant.
This publication was told that the recruit and the sergeant were in an enclosed place together and once the sergeant was naked then the ranks would walk in.
Base on reports, contrary to what the recruit was told, the officers did not keep up their end of the plan.
This newspaper was told that the young recruit was left with the sergeant until the act was committed then they walked in.
