Rape Case File Against Attorney Still at D.P.P.’s Office

Chester Williams

The allegations of rape against a popular Belize City attorney are still just that, allegations, and today News Five got a chance to ask the Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams, for a status report on where the police are with that investigation and charges, if any. Williams indicated that the case file is still with the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

“The file is still with the Director of Public Prosecution. She had requested the police to do some further work. That work is being done, and once those are completed, they will be sent back to her. And hopefully we get a final determination from the DPP in respect to that matter. But I must condemn what I saw on Hot Off the Press where the video was taken from Thirsty’s. And I don’t understand why would Thirsty’s give I don’t want to give the video footage to anybody. But that’s a matter for them but I don’t think that the press should have done what they did and again as a society we must condemn those kind of actions because the truth be told the video footage that is shown there does not go to prove or disprove nothing. But rather it was an effort merely as far as I can see to smear the character of the female – of the women in that particular instance.”
