Internationally renowned Dancehall superstar, Elephant Man will have to wait a while longer before having an opportunity to answer to a rape charge.
The prominent deejay’s rape case was put off following a hearing inside the Corporate Area Resident Magistrates on Monday. As a result, the self-professed Energy God was assessed a June 28 court date where he will answer to charges of rape and grievous sexual assault.
The charges stem from an alleged incident at Elephant Man’s Hillcrest Avenue residence in St. Andrew this past January. Law enforcement officials relayed that a police report was filed by a woman claiming she was sexually assaulted at the artiste’s home.
Following an investigation by the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) and a question-answer session in the presence of his lawyer, Elephant Man was slapped with rape and sexual assault charges.
Elephant Man has steadfastly denied the allegations, insisting that he would never put himself in such a position given his status as a role model and the responsibilities he bears in music.
