| In March of last year, taxi driver Lincoln Miguel was accused of trying to kidnap one of his customers, a 24 year-old woman, after he supposedly offered her money for sexual favors. Well, earlier this year, Miguel stood trial, and he faced his accuser in court, where he was able to prove that the woman concocted the entire story.
Today Miguel came to us today saying that he's been trying to settle for an acquittal in court, but in the public eye, he's been disgraced, where his reputation has suffered because of a wrongful accusation.
He told us today that the laws which protect women against sexual offences are slanted against men because women can simply create stories, lie and convince the police:
Lincoln Miguel
"I was wrongfully accused of a crime that I have not committed. I have been a taxi driver for the past 16 - 18 years. I have also worked in other institution including the police academy training school whereby we were trained to be discipline."
"This accusation that was brought up against me, my case have been tried after I have been charged and remand in prison for 3 months. I was charged and I fought my case and won. This is a letter that I have received officially from the court."
"Woman have right over men. A woman could say that you wanted to rape them or whatever is the situation and they just have to pretend and go before the police and they (police) will believe. As a matter of fact, I think in this situation, what they should have done is they should have done proper investigation before they jump to conclusion."
Miguel told us that even certain members of his family have shunned him because of the false allegation.
