Nassau, BAHAMAS- A man accused of rape told a policeman that he had broken a promise to give his alleged victim money.
Inspector Timothy Bain testified in the Supreme Court that Kevin Cooper denied the rape allegation when he arrested him on November 18, 2022.
Bain told the judge and jury, “He said that he didn’t know what I was talking about. He said that they would occasionally meet and have interactions. He said he made a financial promise to her that he did not fulfill.”
Cooper’s lawyer, Miranda Adderley, asked the officer, “He didn’t tell you that he promised to pay her for sex?”
Bain said he didn’t recall that; however, he said that Cooper claimed that he had consensual sex with his accuser.
At the time of his arrest at the Rubis Service Station on West Bay Street, Cooper was wrapped in a floral bed sheet.
His accuser was also at the service station. She was crying uncontrollably and appeared distraught, according to Bain.
