His trial commenced last week before Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall and a 12-person jury at the Demerara High Court.Ganesh, who retained attorney-at-law Stanley Moore, had pleaded not guilty to the allegations. During the trial which was heard in-camera, Ganesh’s lawyer contended that he and the woman were involved in a three-year-long relationship, during which they engaged in consensual sexual activities.

Lawyers Sarah Martin and Teriq Mohamed presented the case for the prosecution.
