I have had several alleged victims came to me and claimed to have had bad experiences with Prime Minister Ralph E. Gonsalves, where they claimed that PM Gonsalves allegedly imposed himself on them sexually. I will say here, there were no indication that the women did anything to suggest, to Mr. Gonsalves that it was ok for such to occur. It is also clear that the impositions was not solicited or welcome. The unsolicited and unwelcome sexual advancement which result in touching of private body parts, etc. is by law a felony, criminal sex offense. I will also make it clear here, that the category of the offences, has nothing to do with who, the office and or the social status of the person who is found in violation of the offence.
It is important to note, not because a person imposed themselves into a story, where they were a victim, means that the stories are true. But what will make so many women, pick on the same person? Why would they singleout the most politically powerful person in the country to fabricate such vicious story about? Why is it, there were/are no other political head in the history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines or other Caribbean country to have, similar claims brought against them?
It will also be good to note that a court of law, weather is have decisional administrative control by a judge or a judge and a Jury; cannot conclusively prove that a rape or any other incident was committed by an accuse; however, they arrive at a probability which is base on a scale that is 'beyond a reasonable doubt", (which mean the offence have happened, the suspect had opportunity and they also had just reason to commit the offence of the other way around) that the incident did or did not happen base on the magnitude of the evidence, that was put forward to support their decisions. The judge and the jury have to unscientifically determine, which of the witnesses are lying and which of the witnesses are speaking the truth. although the judge is only a train lawyer, the Jury is made up on regular citizens. And it is the opinion of these regular Joe's that is of consequence to the case. Let me reiterate this point before it is lost in the shuffle. No Judge or Jury can conclude without a doubt that an accused person committed an offence unless there is actual and claer video footage of the whole incident.
Another question I will like to asked here is: how could it benefit these women to publicly and lying whilst admitting that they were raped, inappropriately touch, kissed etc. by a person of the opposite sex?
After the female police officer came forward and accused PM Ralph E. Gonsalves of rape and sexual assault, a number of females came forward and also made allegations of rape against PM Gonsalve. It was at this time the prime minister held a press conference and threaten to sue anyone who made any such allegation against him; and having seen the ill treatment the female police officer met at the hands of the public, her colleagues and her superior; resulted in most of the Prime Minister's accusers withdrew, not their allegations, but from giving affidavit, outlining the details of their story. However a few women, who had alleged unlawful and unsolicited sexual wrong doing by the Prime Minister: Ralph Gonsalves, had already given sworn statements put their stories on paper in an affidavit.
It is also interesting that the Wikki Leaks, private USA government telegram that was leaked also said that a young lawyer who worked at the family court, in Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines also came forward and give a sworn statement alleging that she to was raped by Prime Minister Ralph E. Gonsalves.
Ladies and gentlemen in the court of public opinion, please examine the story below, make your determination and come to your conclusion.
