A 36-year-old goldsmith pleaded not guilty to the charge of provoking a breach of the peace when he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court on Friday.

It is alleged that on June 11 at Georgetown, Paul Dinzey of 37 John Fernandes Industrial Site, Georgetown, made use of abusive language to Karen Hughes Williams thereby resulting in a breach of the peace.

When given a chance to respond, Dinzey told the court that on the day in question he had gone into an internet café and had asked the virtual complainant (VC) how she was doing.

She then told him that she was going to call her husband on his phone.
He said that when the woman’s husband arrived he was still at the café as he was speaking to a friend of his who works there.
Once there, the defendant said the VC’s husband started punching him while another man began hitting him with a gun.
He added that he has trouble with his nerves.

Police Corporal Munilall Seetaram told the court, however, that on the day in question the defendant had asked the VC who was not present in court to kiss him and have sex with him.

“I does feel giddy, giddy,” Dinzey remarked, as he was about to leave the courtroom.
The unrepresented Dinzey was placed on $10,000 bail and his matter was transferred to Court Two for June 24.
