Attorney General Vincent “Juicy” Byron responded to the sexual misconduct claim during Wednesday’s Prime Minister Harris’ monthly Press Conference. Byron was responding to Opposition led charges that the Office of the Attorney General was involved in sexual misconduct and ought to come public to clear the name of the Office of the Attorney General.
Byron was pressed by a media house on this matter and responded: “My understanding that the only person who has made any claim that the Office of the Attorney General has been harassing any citizen in this country, has been the Leader of the Opposition, Dr Denzil Douglas, and the harassment claim as I understand it came because an announcement was made in the National Assembly, I the Parliament, that Dr Douglas had made a ‘faux pas’ in accepting and using a diplomatic passport of Dominica… in response he threw out a claim that no Attorney General would be able to do him anything… and with this ridiculous claim, I have checked with the Office of the Attorney General, and no one in that office has harassed Dr Douglas… and especially not sexually either and so that this idea being thrown about in the public to distract the citizens from a very serious matter, involving the use by Dr Douglas of a diplomatic passport of another country, which is an anathema according to our constitution, I think is the hub of the situation”, stated Attorney General Byron.
He added, “I am not sure that Dr Douglas’ claim that someone has been harassing him has anything to do with domestic violence either, so that would be my answer to that question”, the Attorney General concluded.
