High Court building
The matter involving Oswin Barker, the chef accused of rape, was today, July 3 traversed to the October criminal assizes.
Following the decision, Justice Albert Redhead extended the defendant’s $75,000 bail that was signed with two sureties along with other requisites.
It is alleged that the 37-year-old committed the act sometime between March 21 and 22, 2012 at the Brandywine Bay beach.
The court heard that the defendant had allegedly taken the VC and her friend to a bar in Long Bush, and sometime after he took the VC’s friend home but drove past the VC’s residence to the Brandywine Bay area, even though the complainant protested.
The complainant allegedly asked the defendant where he was going and he reportedly told her he wanted to speak to her. She allegedly asked the defendant to take her home, stating that she was sleepy and tired.
It was stated that Barker told the VC that he liked her a lot and asked her if she couldn’t see that. He also reportedly told her that he would do anything for her and that’s why he and his girlfriend were not presently on good terms.
During the alleged rape, the VC reportedly punched the defendant in his face and bit him in his chest.
It was announced that when officers informed the defendant of the report that had been made against him he said: “Me not me officer, I never raped that girl.” However, the defendant stated that he did have sexual intercourse with the VC on more than one occasion and announced that the VC was his girlfriend.

These rapist need to dead or get torched
They were both in a relationship for a while, and maybe something went wrong make she calling rape. The truth will reveal in court.
People who rape are people who have low self esteem and they should pay for there crime
true
Not all. Some do it for the thrill. Some will stop at nothing to have sex with the woman they want. I know a lot of rapists with good self esteem.
could be they’re a DJ?
The truth would reveal and hope the right person get jailed and let the guy go.
Is what you saying? They have the wrong rapist?
WOMEN HAVE TO LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME. HE WANT RAPE YOU, KEEP IT COOL. HE WILL BELIEVE YOU ARE OK WITH IT. THEN U START PLAYING WITH HIM MAKE HIM BELIEVE YOU WANT IT TOO,AND WHEN U GET UR HANDS ON HIS PENIS, RIP IT TO HELL OFF. THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO RAPE PEOPLE THEN. DO NOT MAKE NO BIG FIGHT PLAY COOL AND MAKE SURE HIS PENIS COMES OF FIN UR HANDS. IF YOU MAKE BIG FUSS, THEY MIGHT KILL YOU. LET NO MAN TRY TO RAPE ME AND U WILL SEE HOW I WILL MAKE HISTORY ON THEM
lmao I love that! cut it off let him eat it..
Thats why I dont trust men
a woman raped me last week and am afraid to go to the police, I fear the rapist will harm my wife and family can someone help me please?
why are you afraid to go to the police?
tell her come rape me fag
@ a man if this is a true story you should go to the police. @hill side billy what kind of person are you? Some men I am sure are uncomfortable with certain women and you calling him a fag is un called for. I hope if one day yellow was to hold you in town rip off your cloths and jump on you, I hope you dont pull away. Just stay there and take it if you run then you will also be a fag.
Yellow smells like she is dead… You got to be much boy to deal wit dat
i sure aint yellow ripe he so dont go there any woman could rape as long as it under 4 eye even sticking yellow
@hill side billy, I was using yellow as an example lol. I am confused on what you are trying to say, what does ‘under 4 eye even’ means? In law a woman cannot be charged with rape, they can only be charged with sexual assault.
Law student: these days you gah watch them women u know….They have STRAP ONS AND THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO USE THEM….
If you were a law student then you know that at the most this will be a charge of indecent assault.
No it would not be a charge of indecent assault it would be a charge of sexual assault since technically a woman cannot rape a man.
I just checked with a friend, he said that it would be indecent assault in the BVI as you stated. I go to school in the UK and it would be sexual assault up here, he said that the UK used to have indecent assault but it was replaced by the Sexual Offences 2003 Act
Wha u doing with another woman if you have a wife and children.
He claimed he was raped.
