NASSAU- A funeral director who tried to ruin his married lover’s marriage by telling her husband that she’d contracted AIDS during their fling was back in court on Thursday.
This time, Godfrey Gray, 39, of Fritz Lane, faced a charge of impersonating a policeman.
Police say that Gray had a police warrant card on June 21, although he’s not a member of the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
Gray denied the charge and was granted $1,000 bail. He returns to court on October 20 for his trial.
On Wednesday, Gray pleaded guilty to charges of intentional libel and misuse of telecommunications over a series of calls and messages to his former fling and her husband.
Gray and the woman had a brief intimate relationship in February. However, after the woman refused to leave her husband Gray began harassing her, the court heard.
He sent WhatsApp messages to the woman’s husband and relatives claiming that he had given her AIDS.
In her complaint to police, the woman said that Gray said he wanted her husband to kill her.
Although Gray claims to have the disease, his former fling has tested negative.
The court ordered Gray to apologize in writing to his victim for the libel charge by June 30. He was fined $500 for the misusing the telephone.
Failure to comply with either condition will result in a six-month prison sentence.
