Well placed sources within the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutors have confirmed that a


Embattled Police Commissioner Henry Greene

criminal charge would be laid against embattled Police Commissioner Henry Greene on Tuesday. Kaieteur News understands that Greene is expected to be charged with rape.
This newspaper was further told that Greene is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday at the Georgetown Magistrates Court before the Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry.
But when contacted last evening acting commissioner Leroy Brummell said that he was not yet aware of any recommendation from the DPP.
Crime Chief Seelall Persaud could not be reached.
The investigations stem from allegations made by a 34-year old woman who claimed that the Commissioner raped her in a city hotel back in November last year. Greene has denied the rape allegations, telling investigators that the sexual encounter with the woman was by mutual consent. But according to one investigator who asked not to be named, the question of consent is not one for the DPP to decide on.
Attorney at law Nigel Hughes who is representing the alleged victim yesterday told Kaieteur News that his client has not been notified about the possible charge.
Weighing heavily on the matter will be the woman’s initial statement, which she had given to local investigators at the Brickdam Police Station.
She told detectives, that after she had sought the assistance of the top cop to recover her cellular phone which was seized by the police, Greene subsequently invited her to his office to collect it. According to the investigator, the woman has indicated that “she did not go there off of her own.”
Greene is presently on leave to facilitate the rape investigation and Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee has stated that his return as head of the Guyana Police Force would be based on the recommendations of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

There is an old saying: 'The longest rope has an end' For Henry Greene, that rope has come to an end. From day one Henry Greene was a scum bag of the first order whose greatest asset was his political connection and toadyism . On the few occasions we butted heads, my personal assessment of him was that is nothing but a 'pressa-foot' an ignorant bully, an unrepentant fool and a sore loser. Five years ago, when he was appointed COP, I expressed similar sentiments here and a few friends asked me to go light on him. Finally the game is up for 'Manish Puppy"' and his ass is exposed for what he truly is.

The poor woman should be given some free counseling also by the state. That must have been both a very large dramatic and traumatic event in her life.

Would Green lose his pension benefits if he is convicted?

Good question. He attained mandatory retirement 2 years ago and had he retired then, his pension would have been protected. As far as I know, his service is unbroken hence his pension could be in jeopardy. Although I believe he is guilty as sin, given the peculiar circumstances here, the character of the VC, coupled with poor investigative work and sub par prosecutorial performance, a conviction is highly unlikely.

I think they should let him keep his pension. He earned it.
