Well-known Belize City Lawyer is Accused of Raping Two Women
Chester Williams
Tonight, a prominent attorney and member of the United Democratic Party is under investigation, amid allegations being made by a pair of women involving the crime of rape. The incident reportedly happened at the lawyer’s residence here in Belize City in the wee small hours of Friday morning, after a night of socializing at a popular establishment. It is alleged that after partying with the young ladies, he was asked to drop them home. Instead, the former U.D.P. candidate reportedly offered to have them over for a nightcap, before taking them to their destination. Somewhere during that visit at his residence, things purportedly took a turn in a different direction. It was then that he allegedly engaged in sexual contact with them against their will. On Saturday, both women filed reports with the Belize Police Department, one in San Ignacio Town and the other in Belize City. Since then, investigators have taken statements from the alleged victims and have also conducted interviews with the alleged culprit. This afternoon, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams shared additional details of what is said to have transpired on the morning in question.

“Saturday morning, I believe I was briefed by the head Crimes Investigation Branch here in Belize City of the allegations of rape being made by two females against an attorney who is based in Belize City. According to the allegations, as outlined by the two females, is that they were socializing at Thirsty’s Nightclub here in Belize City where they met this attorney who, according to them, they recognized from social media and he offered them drinks whilst at the nightclub which they accepted. When the nightclub closed, they both left with him and had asked him to take them home. One of the females is from the Cayo area but she was in Belize City doing a training and so she was staying with the other female here in Belize City and so they had asked to take them home. According to them, while on their way home they were told by the attorney that they would stop at his house for one final drink, after which he would take them home. They agreed and they stopped off at a house, according to them, and whilst at the house they continued drinking and taking some shots of tequila. One of them said that she drank to the extent that she could not recall what took place after leaving the nightclub until the next morning when she was awakened on the bed in the nude beside the attorney who was also seminude and her other partner who was there with her at the same time, told her certain things.”
News Five is reliably informed that the victims have reported that they met the attorney at Shisha Nightclub and not Thirsty Thursday.
