Lawyers of ace broadcaster Kwasi Kyei
Darkwah have averred that the 19-year-old complainant in the ‘KKD rape
saga’ – Awuraffe Orleans Thompson – was all over the fashion icon in a
romantic way in the lobby of the African Regent hotel before the alleged
rape took place.
A motion on notice filed by KKD’s Lawyers on
Wednesday December 31, 2014, said: “The complainant was captured by CCTV
footage in the hotel romantically kissing the accused person before the
alleged non-consensual sexual incident, and most importantly, after the
alleged rape was said to have occurred, the footage shows the accused
and the complainant walking together from the hotel suite and through
the hotel lobby in much the same manner as they entered the hotel
suite.”
The motion said per that evidence coupled with others,
the sexual intercourse between the CEO of the Finest Productions and
father of two cannot be said to have been rape.
“There is nothing
in the facts to show that the accused had sex with the complainant
without her consent,” the motion application said.
KKD’s Lawyers
are attempting to secure bail for the beleaguered fashion icon who has
been in detention at the Airport Police Command in Accra since Saturday
night after his arrest.
The Lawyers also wondered in their
application filed at the Human Rights Court on Wednesday December 31,
2014, how come neither KKD’s cousin nor the alleged victim’s cousin, who
were both in the same hotel room, heard any noises of protest from the
19-year-old girl during the alleged rape.
“…Even though the said
two persons remained in the room during the act, the facts do not state
that anyone of them heard a noise from the so called victim in a show of
disapproval of the alleged sex that took place,” the Lawyers argued in
the motion.
KKD is billed to reappear before the District
Magistrate Court on January 8, 2014 after he was denied bail Tuesday
December 30, 2014.
He has been in the custody of the Airport Police since his arrest on Saturday.
