A 38-year-old entertainment promoter, who allegedly raped a 19-year-old girl after offering her a ride home, was remanded to prison yesterday when he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Colin Mack of North Ruimveldt was not required to plead to the indictable charge of rape.
He was represented by attorneys-at-law James Bond and Glenn Hanoman.
It is alleged that Mack had sexual intercourse with the 19-year-old without her consent on April 12, at his home.
According to the police, Mack met the teenager at a nightclub and after a few drinks he offered to take her home.
The teen accepted the offer but Mack diverted and instead drove to his home in North Ruimveldt.
It is alleged that he then demanded that she have intercourse with him and when she refused, dealt her several blows to her body with his fist.
Mack allegedly locked the teen in a room and left the house.
He reportedly returned with another individual who allegedly held the teen down as he raped her.
Some time after the incident the teen was allowed to go home and she later made a report to the police station. Mack was arrested and later charged.
The magistrate subsequently ordered that Mack be remanded to prison and transferred the case to Court Six for April 17.
