MAGISTRATE Judy Latchman on Friday ordered Trinidadian CEO of The Guyana School of Etiquette and Nester Enterprise Limited, to pay compensation to Brandsville Hotel after he incurred a debt of GYD$260, 824, while he stayed there.Twenty- nine- year old Anthony Nester, who resides in Kitty, Georgetown, while in Guyana was charged with incurring debt by false pretense, but he strongly denied the allegation when he made his first appearance and during the trial at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

Particulars of the first charge stated that between April 1 and April 15, at Campbellville, Nester incurred a debt of $206,824 at the Brandsville Hotel by pretending the he had a valid credit card to pay his expenses. Anthony Nester was also fined $100,000 or by default 36 months imprisonment.

Magistrate Latchman added that after the fine and compensation or the prison time served, Nester should be escorted to the nearest port of exit and be deported to Trinidad.

On Tuesday Magistrate Latchman found Nester guilty of the allegation. Magistrate Latchman in her submission stated that the defendant knew that he was out of credit and he made no effort to pay his debt, since he had many opportunities to clear his bill.

However, Nester sentencing was deferred on Tuesday after the Magistrate had asked the Prosecutor Shawn Gonzales to verify if Nestor is a Guyanese or a Trinidadian. Nester had informed Magistrate Latchman that he was born in Guyana but he had migrated to Trinidad at the age of eight.

After police Prosecutor Gonzales made checks at the respective entities, he informed the court on Friday that Nester is a Trinidadian. The court also heard that Nester recently had two matters of similar nature dismissed against him after the virtual complaints did not offer any evidence against him. In 2014 Nester was charged in Trinidad with stealing close to quarter of a million dollars from six persons and defrauding a travel agency of six airline tickets.
