BUSINESSMAN and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the small Alliance For Change (AFC) political party, Mr. Peter Ramsaroop, who was granted $20,000 bail pending continuing investigations by the Police into allegations by a female tenant, has left the jurisdiction and the matter has been left hanging.

Police said that, acting on information received, they obtained and executed a search warrant last month on a building owned by Ramsaroop at 261 Forshaw and New Garden streets, Queenstown, Georgetown.
The building houses several apartments but, according to the police, they were only able to access the one occupied by Nicole Ming, 19, who was the sole occupant.
Police said the search revealed the existence of three covert cameras, one hidden in a clock on a wall that provided a panoramic view of the apartment, another in a radio in the bathroom, and a third focusing on her bed.
Ming, the Police said, had stated that she rented the apartment from Ramsaroop and, after two months, he requested that she leave her keys as he had to fix an electrical problem.  She said that on her return she observed an instrument on the wall with a light flashing.
She also stated that about two weeks prior to his request for the keys she had replaced a battery in the clock, in which one of the cameras was found, and the camera was not affixed at that time.  She complained to the police that she suspected that Ramsaroop may have been video-recording her.
Suspecting that Ramsaroop may have video footage of her and may be distributing pornography, the Police said they consequently obtained warrants to search his apartment, as well as his office at Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara.
At the time, the businessman  was overseas and, upon his return on May 17, the warrants were executed in his presence by the police, who seized two computer hard drives and a digital video recorder from his apartment, along with two computer hard drives from his office.
Ramsaroop, the Police said, has denied the allegations of possession and distribution of pornography and indicated in a written statement that he once used the apartment to house an office for his employees when he installed cameras and did not remove all of them when he rented it to Ming.
Ramsaroop has categorically denied allegations of having and distributing pornography made against him, adding that these are all politically motivated and aimed at tainting his character.
Investigators believe images filmed in the apartment Ming rented were transmitted and recorded off site and it would be difficult to track down now. Police should have also checked other locations linked to Ramsaroop for  recording equipment, sources said.
After the Ming case surfaced, Ramsaroop’s eldest son, Shawn, alleged that his father has a history of infidelity.
The younger Ramsaroop, in a statement to the press, urged the police not to believe his father and claimed that he was over the years involved in incidents and accused him of luring young girls into his bed for money.
Shawn said that although his father neglected him from the age of six, he had always regarded him as a well-respected and wealthy man, but soon came to realise who he truly was over the years.
According to the statement by the son, his father was forced to return to Guyana from the United States after tarnishing his reputation there. Shawn said that in addition his father had been married and divorced three times because of his adulterous behaviour.
Shawn said that though Ramsaroop has four children, including a daughter, he has never mentioned them in any of the many books and speeches he has written about putting family first. Two of them, he said, live in near penury in the U.S., struggling to survive on their own.
He said he came to Guyana for the first time last year and that was how he was able to  witness firsthand how his father would lavish his money on unsuspecting young girls, only to bring them home and seduce them.
Ramsaroop left Guyana suddenly for the U.S. after he was granted bail and promised to return.
His lawyer is Mr. Robert Corbin.
