GRENADIAN CALYPSONIAN FACES RAPE CHARGE  
Grenada’s reigning Calypso monarch, Biko Lewis, appeared at the Sauteurs Magistrate Court yesterday where he was formally charged and cautioned for the offense of rape. The 24 year old calypsonian, who resides in the Parish of St. Patrick, is accused of raping a fifteen year old girl from the same parish. It is alleged that he offered the young girl a ride in his vehicle (sometime over the last weekend) and did not drop her off at her intended destination but instead proceeded to a remote location where the act was committed.

Mr Stallion your respond is noted my comments was made in general,with the issue being sex crimes and in particular admist our young girls with older men that is my stance and again i say that the law should be enforced so that this type of things do not happen as is in say Jamaica and Trinidad.

mr.gabe,i can see that you haven't read some of my comments here.from the beginning i have been saying quite consistently that this man biko deserves to be heard.what is the problem with that?i have also said mr.gabe that i also have a young daughter that is 9.you people have already condemned this man without his case been heard.what if this man is found not guilty and the young lady made this up,what message does this send?that it is ok to cry rape to throw his ass in jail?all am saying mr.gabe is we do have a serious problem with sex with underage females,but we must also understand that the accused also has rights.and if you also read my first entry,i aslo said that this calypsonian has to be named.i am not taking sides,i don't know this guy,but now that he is named there must be due process in the courts.i hope that i have made myself clear mr.gabe.

My fellow grenadians reading some of the comments from my country men and women i am ashamed to say that i cant believe some of the things coming from you people,yes we live in a modern free thinking world but i have to say that we must respect the innocence of our young ones be it that they may at time act as though they know everything, so tell me mr Kevin and mr Stallion, i would like to ask this questions do either of you have any young children be they male or female in your family and what i beg this question what if something like this was to happen to them tell me what would be your position then,you see guys it is quite ok to ask and say some of the questions you both have been asking but we should not forget that this person is a minor and in the eye of the law it is an offence for an older person to engage in any sexual activity with any under age person conscent or no conscent it is against the law and as a people and as a government we have got the send a strong message out to thoes who believe that the youngs girls out there is up for it and that they have more experience that their mothers ,i tell you this type of behaviour has got to be dealt by the law or else our grenada will become like Jamaica or Trinidad and we do not want this type of culture in our country.

What the law says about the legal age of consent,here in grenada?What is statutory rape are we ignoring the law here?Kevin you said you know the guy and he will not do that.Who didnot read the last chapter?You the one that know what went on,were u there?My argument is the age,because we are govern by laws,if he wants to break it fine,but there must be a price to be payed.Do you know the meaning of victim?You came out batting for your friend,and when you were call on it,you start to spin.Nice try,i hope you donot faint.I have no horse in this race,we have to protect the children from perverts and monsters.
