A GYNAECOLOGIST attached to the Victoria Jubilee Hospital was positvely identified yesterday, during an identification parade, as the person who allegedly raped a patient at that institution on February 26.
Deputy Superintendent Derrick Knight, crime officer for the West Kingston Police Division, who spearheaded the investigations, confirmed that the doctor was positively identified but was yet to be charged.
"We will be interviewing him tomorrow (today), in the presence of his lawyer, Hugh Thompson, then we will take it from there. We are trying to put him before the court on Monday," said DSP Knight.
Reports are that the doctor is married with two children and resides with his family in a posh St. Andrew community.
It is alleged that on February 26, the doctor took a pregnant woman to the ultrasound room to be medically examined. During the examination, it was alleged that she was sexually molested.
In the meantime, Janet Spence, a 35-year-old nurse at the Kingston Public Hospital, who allegedly attempted to bribe the complainant not to press charges against the doctor, was remanded in custody when she appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.
She is charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice. Ms. Spence was yesterday denied bail after she was first denied by Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey on Thursday .
The bail application was renewed yesterday morning before Senior Resident Magistrate Martin Gayle. However, RM Gayle refused her bail and indicated that the application should be made on Monday before RM Pusey.
The bail application should have been made before RM Pusey but she was not in court yesterday.
