Rape Accusation “Not Consistent With the Behaviour of Accused”, Says U.D.P. Leader

Moses “Shyne” Barrow

Barrow noted that while the U.D.P. has conducted its own investigation into the allegations, the party condemns any acts of violence against women. On the other hand, he stated that the accusations are not consistent with the behaviour of the accused, as he knows him. Here is how Barrow puts it:

Moses “Shyne” Barrow, Leader of the Opposition

“As stated in the UDP’s press release, we vehemently condemn any act of violence against women and most certainly the heinous act of rape. We do not condone it. We do not support it and for the sake of justice, we hope and pray and trust that the DPP will conduct a thorough and impartial investigation. And, we will have to leave it at that. There have been instances in history where people have been falsely accused. There have been instances where people have abused their power and authority in society. We accept and respect that and that is why it is to the DPP and possibly a court of law to make a determination. At this point the UDP cannot play judge, prosecutor and police investigator. But, we condemn these acts, we do not support it. There is no place for it in our society. The person that is accused, these accusations are not consistent with the person I know. That is not the person I know. I don’t party with the person. Nobody could tell you they see me at Thirsty’s or Shisha or anywhere. I don’t go out, I don’t party. It is not my thing, so I don’t know what my friends do when they are partying but I will say this type of behavior is not consistent with the person that I know.”
