Liberia’s Inspector General of Police, Gregory Coleman, says investigators have not uncovered any evidence tying suspended Deputy Youth and Sports Minister, Bryant McGill, to an ongoing rape allegation.
Appearing on Class Reloaded, IG Coleman revealed that while the Liberia National Police (LNP) continues to review information surrounding the case, “all initial examinations have shown no link.”
He explained that investigators have spoken with security officers assigned to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, reviewed McGill’s call log, and followed up on leads, but so far, “nothing is pointing to McGill being at the scene of the alleged incident.” According to him, prosecutors have also indicated there is currently no basis to proceed with charges in court.
Coleman drew a distinction between McGill’s case and that of Ministry of Agriculture contractor Sando Kromah, who is facing prosecution for statutory rape. “In Kromah’s case, more than three witnesses gave statements that placed him at the victim’s father’s house where the act allegedly happened,” Coleman noted. “With McGill, we have reviewed everything and interviewed all possible sources, and there is still nothing to suggest his involvement.”
The police chief, however, emphasized that the investigation remains open as authorities continue to gather information.
