West Bay West MP McKeeva Bush is under investigation for a new allegation of sexual assault, dating back more than two decades.
In a brief statement, a police spokesperson confirmed to the Compass, “The RCIPS has received a complaint concerning an allegation of sexual assault by Mr. Bush dating back to 2000”.
No further details of the alleged sexual assault were made public. However, police did say Bush has been made aware of the new complaint.
The allegations come some eight weeks after Bush resigned from the role as Speaker of the Cayman Islands Parliament amid public criticism over a separate, unrelated incident of alleged assault against two women.
Charges yet to be filed in September incident
Police told the Cayman Compass that a file submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for consideration on whether to lay charges against Bush over this matter was returned.
“The investigation file was submitted to the DPP, who has instructed some additional actions be completed by the RCIPS,” said the spokesperson.
“This work is currently ongoing, and once completed, the file will be returned to the DPP for ruling in early course,” the spokesperson said.
That investigation stems from an incident which occurred at a government reception for the Caribbean Tourism Organization conference in September.
Cayman Compass reached out to Bush seeking comment on the new allegations, which date back to 2000. No response has yet been received.
