Alleged Rapists Get Bail after Two Nights in Jail
posted (August 16, 2019)
Since Wednesday, we've been telling you about the rape allegation out of Belmopan, which landed 24-year-old Devin Peyrefitte, aka "DJ Perf", and 21-year-old Denzel Usher on remand at the Belize Central Prison. Well tonight, they are out on Supreme Court bail.

Their attorneys, Albertha Perez, and Emerita Anderson, made bail petitions on their behalf before Justice Herbert Lord today. And, after hearing their submissions, as well as a response from Senior Crown Counsel Sheneiza Smith, Justice Lord granted them bail of $10,000.

As part of the conditions for the bail, they are to surrender all travel documents to the court, and they can't leave the jurisdiction without the court's permission. Additionally, they must not interfere with their accuser or any of the prosecution's possible witnesses in this case.

As we told you, a 38-year-old woman reported to police that on Monday night, she was at a party in Belmopan. She alleged that Peyrefitte lured her into one of the bedrooms. She said that when she went into the room, Peyrefitte forced himself on her and raped her. Additionally, she reported that shortly after he was finished, he left the room, and that's when Usher allegedly entered and raped her a second time.

Both men are asserting innocence.
