Andre Hetsberger, who is currently awaiting a new trial for the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl, was granted bail more than a week ago, but remains incarcerated due to what his attorney termed an “administrative hiccup.”
While confirming that his client was granted his pretrial liberty on August 9th, attorney Dexter Todd said Hetsberger has still not been released from prison because another charge levelled against him, which ought to have been already withdrawn by the office of the Director of Public (DPP) Prosecutions, remains on the records as existing.
When contacted, the lawyer explained to this newspaper that Hetsberger had been charged with two counts of rape, committed on different dates, against the same virtual complainant—October 17th, 2014 and October 15th, 2015.
