Shocking! West Indies Cricketer Accused Of Sexual Harassment
Last Updated:
An active West Indies men's cricketer has been accused of sexually harassing several women in Guyana. Investigations are ongoing.
A West Indies cricketer, part of the national men's team, has been accused of sexual harassment in Guyana. According to SportsMax TV, 'several' victims are claiming an alleged cover-up to protect the victims. An investigation is ongoing in the matter.
The media house, in its report, said it reached out to Cricket West Indies (CWI) over the serious accusations. It asked if the board was aware of the allegations, what actions they had taken if they were, and if they were confident that they wouldn't be named in the alleged cover-up investigation.
'Cricket West Indies is unaware of the circumstances and, therefore, is not in a position to comment at this time," CWI President Kishore Shallow was quoted as saying in the report.
Guyanese newspaper Kaieteur is said to be the first to bring the issue to light. In its latest report, titled 'Monster in Maroon', the newspaper claimed to have heard accounts from 'no fewer than eleven women, one of them a teenagaer', accusing the cricketer of sexual assault, rape or unwanted sexual advances.
Nigel Hughes, the lawyer engaged by the family of one of the alleged victims, spoke to SportsMax TV to give details of the investigation.
'I think you have highlighted that it is a matter of some significant sensitivity. The allegations that were leveled by the victim were leveled 2 years ago, and an investigation was conducted, and we understand that they were recommendations from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to institute charges. You will recall the very famous Test match, which the West Indies won in Australia, occurred at the same time, and the suspect returned together and we have heard nothing since," Hughes said.
'My firm was initially contacted about 2 years ago and then of course, with the more recent allegations, inquiries were made literally yesterday and the day before about what the status of my client's complaint was and we have not been able to obtain any significant information," he added.
The West Indies men are currently playing a three-Test series against Australia, the first of which is currently on in Barbados.

'I take complete responsibility': Prasidh Krishna finally reacts after unwanted record in 1st Test
India pacer Prasidh Krishna took full responsibility for his poor performance in the first Test against England at Headingley. Prasidh admitted he failed to hit the right lengths and is now working to improve under coach Morne Morkel ahead of the second Test. read more Prasidh Krishna has admitted he was not at his best in the first Test against England at Headingley, where he ended up creating an unwanted record. The Indian pacer became the first bowler in Test history to concede more than a run a ball in both innings after bowling at least 15 overs in each. India's poor bowling in one of the reasons behind the shocking loss despite scoring five centuries in the match. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read: Abhishek Nayar reveals how Rohit Sharma helped KL Rahul make a comeback: 'I told him, listen, we've got 15 days' Prasidh Krishna takes responsibility for poor bowling Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Prasidh said he bowled too short in the first innings and couldn't hit the right length consistently. Prasidh's economy rate was the highest ever for an Indian bowler in a Test match. In the second innings, he improved his length and looked a bit more threatening, but the damage had already been done. 'If I look at the first innings, I was a little too short than where I wanted to be. Definitely 6-8[m] is ideal. That's what I would say. I think second innings it got slightly better, but because again the wicket was slightly slower, I had to pitch a few slightly behind it and then go slightly fuller when I'm trying to get a wicket. So, yeah, I definitely did not bowl the lengths that I wanted to,' Prasidh was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. 'Not wanting to float it up there is definitely one of the reasons. And also, it honestly took me some time to get used to the slope that side. But I should be able to do it as a professional. I take complete responsibility about it, and then maybe I do it better next time,' he added.
