–remanded to prison while awaiting sentence

A WOMAN, on Friday, appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and admitted to threatening to accuse her ex-boyfriend of attempting to rape her for the mere motive of extorting money from him. She was remanded to prison by Magistrate Leron Daly, and was ordered to return to court on Monday, March 1, 2021 for sentencing. The charge stated that Princess Williams, of Providence, between Monday January 4, 2021 and Thursday, January 7, 2021, at Georgetown, with intent to extort money from Kenrick Thomas, specifically $10M, threatened to accuse him of attempting to rape her. The court was informed that Williams and Thomas were in a sexual relationship for approximately four months, during which time he would invite her to his home to hang out and have dinner. But on Monday, January 4, 2021, when he invited her to his home as per usual, he changed strategy and asked that they have sex as soon as she arrived, and, surprisingly, she consented. But then, as they were about to get into the act, an argument ensued between the two, and he told her to get dressed, and proceeded to take her home.

On the following day, Thomas reportedly ended the relationship with Williams, but she, not wanting to take no for an answer, still tried to get the relationship back on even keel, but he refused to have anything to do with her. Then one day, in a fit of rage at being spurned, she sent him a message via WhatsApp, threatening to exact revenge. The crux of the message, in essence a poorly recorded video with a background audio, was that having tried to rape her, he’d have to either pay her ten million dollars or she’d go to the police with the evidence. After receiving the message, Thomas immediately reported the matter to the police, and an investigation was launched. During the course of the investigation, Williams reportedly admitted to the police that she’d recorded the video to scare Thomas into giving her the money, as he’d faithfully promised that he’d give it to her for her birthday. She also told the police that she was sorry for what she’d done.
