Is There Trouble with Sarkis Abou-Nehra Case?

More than eighteen persons face charges in connection with the Sarkis Abou-Nehra home invasion which occurred almost a year ago, in December 2015, in Burrell Boom where the diplomat’s maid was raped as she worked at her boss’s house. The intruders also ransacked the diplomat’s house and stole a number of items including liquors and guns etc. However, attorneys involved in the case say some of their clients could be freed as early as their next appearance in court following the granting of disclosure. Defendant Anthony Smith charged, for handling stolen goods, told us that there is no evidence in the disclosure against him as his name has not even been called yet he was charged for handling stolen goods. He told us though he is getting an attorney to make sure he walks from the charge. Other potential errors include the withdrawal of rape charges from Tyrone Meighan due to lack of evidence; Paul Jex Junior has now been charged with the rape of the maid which reportedly happened in front of her child. The case has been adjourned for October eleventh, 2016.
