Shamar Joseph Alleged For Raping 11 Women: While Shamar Joseph was playing in the WI vs AUS 1st Test match in Barbados, a shocking piece of news broke in the cricketing world about him being accused of rape and being involved in forceful sexual acts by no less than 11 women!
25-year-old Shamar Joseph is well-renowned in the world of cricket for delivering a match-winning spell at the Gabba in January 2024, helping the West Indies record a rare Test match win in Australia. He’s got pace, and as he showed recently in Barbados with a four-wicket haul in Australia’s first innings, he has a liking for playing against the Aussies.
However, the speedster is set to land in hot water off the field now, which could impact his professional cricket career too, as he’s facing multiple sexual assault allegations.
A Guyanese media outlet, Kaieteur Sports, broke this news during the WI vs AUS 1st Test at the Kensington Oval, where Joseph featured.
Shamar Joseph Alleged For Raping 11 Women: Check out the details
A young woman from Berbice has accused the seamer of sexual assault that allegedly took place on March 3, 2023, at a residence in New Amsterdam, Berbice.
The victim’s family claims that there is a “sustained effort by law enforcement authorities to suppress and cover up the incident.” At the time of the incident, the victim was 18 years old.
The mother of the victim alleged that “the cricketer (Joseph has not been named in the report) forcibly removed the young woman’s clothing and sexually assaulted her. He ripped off her pants, held her down, and did what he wanted. My child has not been the same since. She’s been broken ever since that day.”
The family has said that the investigation has been mishandled, and that the cricketer’s family has tried to settle it privately.
“Let it be known, we didn’t take any money. We don’t want money. I want justice for what he did to my daughter,” the mother added.
The family is confident in their evidence, which includes call records and eyewitnesses. However, they say these evidences were disregarded by the investigators.
The family has also revealed that Shamar Joseph was previously alleged to have raped an underage teen. In that case, it is learned through the report that the seamer was arrested, but the victim later withdrew her statement.
“We want the world to know what happened. This can’t keep happening, and nothing is done because of who he is,” the victim’s mother asserted.
Other reports have claimed that 11 women have alleged sexual misconduct by Joseph, and one of them is his own cousin.
