NASSAU- The case has been dropped against a former bank executive accused of raping a 14-year-old boy.
In 2019, Paul Delroy Lewis was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor of the same sex.
The charge stemmed from his arrest on February 23, 2019 after police on patrol allegedly found him and the minor in a compromising position on a beach in southern New Providence.
The teenager was unable to legally consent to the alleged act. The age of consent in homosexual relationships is 18.
Lewis was 37 at the time of the alleged offense.
Lewis’ trial was supposed to begin on Wednesday, July 13.
However, the trial did not proceed as a result of a directive from Acting DPP Franklyn Williams QC to discontinue the matter.
