Former Cayman Islands Premier McKeeva Bush has entered not guilty pleas to charges of rape and indecent assault, stemming from allegations dating back more than two decades.
Bush has already publicly protested his innocence. When asked to enter a formal plea to the charges before judge Cheryll Richards in Grand Court, Friday, he said ‘absolutely, definitely, not guilty’.
The particulars of the charges, read out in court, are that on a day unknown between 1 Jan. 1999 and 31 Dec. 2001, Bush had unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman.
The matter is listed for a seven-day-trial starting 6 November, and Bush was released on bail.
