The prosecutor showed up to court with no case file and so yesterday the Chief Magistrate said two accused rapists had no case to answer and they walked out of court free men.
19 year old Robert Chavez and 24 year old Leon Perez were accused of raping a 14 year old girl in Gales Point on may 1st of last year. The teenaged victim told police that she was riding a bike near the village library when she was grabbed by two men. She further claimed that the men then took her into the library and raped her. They also allegedly invited another man to join in but he refused. The preliminary inquiry into the rape was supposed to begin yesterday but it didn't because after several postponements yet again prosecutors showed up with no case files. Chavez and Perez were represented by B.Q. Pitts.
