West Indies cricketer Shamar Joseph has been named in serious allegations involving sexual misconduct, according to Kaieteur News. A young woman from Berbice has reportedly accused the player of rape, while other women, including one teenager, have alleged sexual assault and inappropriate behavior.
The West Indies kicked off their new ICC World Test Championship (WTC) campaign with a strong showing in the opening Test against Australia in Barbados. Shamar Joseph made the most of the bowling-friendly conditions, picking up four wickets in the first innings and adding another in the second innings.
Shamar Joseph has been accused of serious sexual misconduct. The allegations, initially considered credible, have reportedly been overshadowed not by lack of merit but due to the emotional toll on the alleged victim.
According to a report by Kaieteur News, the woman at the center of the case struggled with repeated questioning by various officers within the Guyana Police Force. The process, described as emotionally exhausting, led her to abruptly end an official interview due to mental distress.
The woman has since been hospitalized, overwhelmed by the ordeal and feeling ignored by the system. As of the latest update, she remains under medical care.
