CONWAY Gray was, on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, freed of a rape charge by the Sexual Offences Court of the Demerara High Court, after a jury returned a not-guilty verdict.
Gray was on trial before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow for allegedly engaging in sexual activity with a three-year-old girl on June 9, 2015.

Gray was represented by attorney Maxwell McKay, while the state’s case was presented by Prosecutors Seeta Bishundial, Lisa Cave and Sarah Martin.

The verdict was not unanimous: 10 jurors found Gray not guilty, while two found him guilty.

Madam Justice Barlow told Gray to consider it a second chance and that he must use the opportunity to avoid finding himself in similar situations and before the court.

The judge also advised the prosecutors to continue providing support and counselling to the victim, who is now six years old and understands what had transpired.
