The Royal Bahamas Police Force defended its actions yesterday in the investigation of the highly publicised rape allegations against Works and Utilities minister Bradley Roberts.
\n
It was reported that police mediated a confrontation between Mr. Roberts and his accuser during their investigation of the case.
\n
\nIn a press conference that police yesterday, Commissioner Paul Farquharson confirmed that there was a meeting between the two parties.
\n
\nHe said it was not unusual for police to use a confrontation between a complainant and the accused to determine the validity of a case.
\n
\nMr. Farquharson also said they have completed their month long investigation and the matter has now been turned over to the Attorney General’s office.
\n
\nDirector of Prosecutions for the AG’s office, Bernard Turner, told The Tribune that he is not sure when or if charges will be filed against Mr. Roberts.
\n
