Jamaica News: St Catherine Businessman Denied Bail – 27-year-old Davian Smythe, charged with raping his girlfriend after allegedly locking her in his bedroom for over a week, was denied bail during his appearance before the St. Catherine Parish Court on Tuesday.
Smythe, from Myrtle Avenue in Phoenix Park Village, Portmore, St. Catherine, faces multiple charges, including rape, forcible abduction, unlawful detention, simple larceny, grievous sexual assault, common assault, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
According to reports from the Portmore police, in October 2023, Smythe picked up his girlfriend from her mother’s home and drove her to his residence. An argument ensued over sex, leading him to allegedly lock her inside his bedroom against her will, where he physically and sexually assaulted her.
Additionally, in April of this year, a similar altercation occurred, during which Smythe reportedly confiscated her passport and cellphone before once again locking her in his bedroom and sexually assaulting her for several days.
After the victim reported the incidents to the police, Smythe was arrested and subsequently charged. He has been remanded into custody until June 4.
