PROSECUTORS produced a written directive from the Attorney General’s Office requesting that proceedings be discontinued against a man accused of burglary and rape yesterday.

The move by the Crown in the Supreme Court came more than two years after 26-year-old Kevie Cambridge was initially arraigned in connection with the crimes alleged to have occurred on June 11, 2013, on a Family Island.

Prosecutor Ambrose Armbrister presented the nolle prosequi (no prosecution).

While Cambridge was discharged, he was informed that the Attorney General’s Office could bring the case against him again at any time in the Supreme Court.

It was claimed that he, on the evening in question, entered the home of a woman with whom he was familiar and tried to have sex with her without her consent.

While a reason was not provided to the court for their course of action, The Tribune has learned that the complainant did not wish to continue with the matter. 

Cambridge, who was on bail since December 2013, was represented by Calvin Seymour.

Senior Justice Stephen Isaacs presided over yesterday’s proceedings.
