The Court of Appeal yesterday upheld a lower court’s decision to deny a man fighting extradition the right to cross-examine his accuser.
Police Constable Nyahuma Bastian is wanted in South Texas for the alleged rape and assault of a former girlfriend on April 26, 2001.
Bastian and his alleged victim were both students at the University of North Texas when the incident allegedly took place.
Bastian, who was on $120,000 bail, absconded and returned to The Bahamas.
He joined the police force on his return to the country and was arrested on an extradition warrant when he reported for duty at the Central Detective Unit on June 17, 2010.
