Football player kicks his way into prison

Jan 17, 2019 News

 

A national football player was yesterday arranged for a court hearing following an accusation that he stole from his girlfriend and damaged her car.
Jobe Caesar made an appearance in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts before Senior Magistrate Faith McGusty.
He denied the allegation which stated that on November 25, 2018 at Lot 178 Albert and Charlotte Streets he unlawfully and maliciously damaged one motor car valued at $3.5 million property of Jennifer Valder.
Also, it was alleged that on the same date and at the same location, Caesar while being armed with a gun, he robbed Jennifer Valder of one J2 Samsung cell phone valued at $30,000.
Attorney at law Paul Fung-a-Fat represented the accused. In an application for reasonable bail, he told the court that his client is only 19 years of age. He strongly argued that the allegation made out against Caesar is false as the parties had shared a relationship.
He added that on the night in question the parties were seen kissing and hugging at a popular nightclub. However, he stated that the victim would have uploaded videos and photos on social media of the vehicle and the colour keeps changing.
Police prosecutor Seon Blackman objected to bail under the grounds that a gun was used for the robbery and on the day in question, the defendant used threatening language towards Valder.
He went on the say that Valder was constantly abused by the accused. The prosecutor further objected to bail based on the serious nature of the charges, the penalty they attract and the fact that Ceasar has a pending matter before the court.
Senior Magistrate Faith McGusty then upheld the submission made by the prosecutor and remanded Caesar to prison until January 30, 2019 where he will make his next court appearance.
Caesar was charged last year September for assaulting a police officer and snatching the officer’s service revolver and pointing it at him. He is also before the court for another assault charge of which his girlfriend is the victim.
