Police Commissioner Paul Farquharson has recommended to Attorney General Alfred Sears that Works and Utilities Minister Bradley Roberts not be charged with rape.
Mr. Sears told The Tribune yesterday, the commissioner, who submitted his recommendations to the Attorney General on Tuesday, said that based on their findings Mr. Roberts should not be prosecuted.
“I have asked the Director for Public Prosecutions to review the recommendation and he will advise me if the recommendations of the commissioner should be followed,” Mr. Sears said.
He said that his office has the final say in the matter, but if evidence does not support a prosecution one is not advanced.
Mr. Sears, however, would not comment on the circumstances under which the commissioner recommended that no charges be made against the minister.
