The teen took her own life on Saturday morning.

Police Commander of Region Three, Simon Mc Bean said yesterday that the teenager visited the police last week accompanied by her father and made the report. The alleged acts of sexual assault occurred between October 2019 and January 2020.

He said too that the accused was arrested and questioned and later released on $150,000 station bail. Mc Bean, further stated that they are continuing with the investigations and will seek legal advice. Meanwhile, Sanjeev Datadin, the attorney for the pandit issued a statement on the matter last evening.

He said: My client wishes the public to be aware of the following:

 1.  That at no time was he informed by the police that it was alleged that he had  any physical contact whatsoever with the child.

2.         At all times the investigation centred around improper text messages and nothing else.

3.         My client specifically denied that he had ever sent inappropriate texts to the child.

4.         That he was also informed when he inquired, that there are no text messages in existence at this time.

5.         That upon being informed by the police of their investigation he cooperated fully and openly with the investigation.

He added that his client remains fully prepared to cooperate fully with any police investigation. β€œHe is innocent of any wrongdoing”, Datadin said.

Which reporting is true.. 

Kaieture News below... 

However, the alleged victim reportedly refused to submit to a medical examination to ascertain whether she was sexually active.
Then on Saturday, the girl’s father discovered her dead in her bedroom. A postmortem will be carried out this week.
An attorney for the pandit yesterday denied that the teen had accused his client of touching her.
He said, instead, that the religious leader claims that he is accused of sending inappropriate texts to the alleged victim. According to the attorney, the police found no such text messages in his client’s phone.
However, police insist that the claim had nothing to do with texting, but with touching of the teen.

Shut you rass. A person is presumed innocent until found guilty. Everyone is entitled to a lawyer. It is for the police to investigate and lay charges as is customary. 

Don’t drag the PPP into this. It is a police and A legal matter.

Sanjeev Datadin should not have taken this case.  He and Pandit are both on the PPP candidates list.

PPP supporters will most likely stay away from polls to show sympathy for the Larki. Dem young Pundits in Guyana are notably Playboys.

It would be advisable that the Police investigate this since the alleged victim refused a medical examination. The police though are mentioning inappropriate touching. This has to be investigated and the pandit hands chopped off if found guilty. Until then, this  remains a police and legal matter.

Pundit Sean, the PM can reveal if she was sexually active. The police can hold on to the body or refuse to issue the certificate for cremation.

Bai, is Paglin Bibi fuss bring up PPP. DJ juss ran with the bait. 
The has has everything to do with justice for the victim if these allegations are proven to be true. If I were the police, I would also grill the father for more information. Something is amiss there.
