Blackmail, not Rape -The Analyst Findings on alleged GOL officials sexual assault case

MONROVIA – Amid news making the rounds through social media outlets that two Liberian officials, Ambassador Moses Owen Browne, Liberia’s Permanent Representative to the International Maritime Organization; and Mr. Daniel Tarr, Director of the Department of Marine Environmental Protection, have been arrested in South Korea on allegations of sexual assault and rape, The Analyst can report with credible information in its possession that the incident is established to be a blackmail, not rape.

The Analyst, quoting diplomatic sources, said that the incident is a complete blackmail and not rape as is being widely reported, given the information that the two females who are the accusers, ages 21 and 26, reportedly did consent to the social affair that was mutually agreed upon and carried out.

The Diplomatic sources established that it is a complete blackmail and not rape because there was no evidence of compulsion or coercion to constitute rape as is being alleged by the two adults who consented to go into the affair that was mutually agreed upon.

 According to the Diplomatic sources, what is even baffling is the fact that the Korean Government is holding a diplomatic official in detention, which is a complete violation of his rights. Quoting Article 6, Section 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, No.10 October 29, 1987, the Diplomatic sources also informed that all treaties and laws duly concluded and promulgated under the constitution and generally recognized rules of treaties and customary international law shall have the effect as the domestic laws of the Republic of Korea.

“Moses Owen Browne, Jr., enjoys diplomatic privileges and immunities from arrest, detention and prosecution according to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations Article 29. The CVDR guarantees personal inviolability of diplomats. Moses is immune from any such act by law enforcement officers of the receiving state (KOREA); and he was on a diplomatic mission in the receiving state, holding a Diplomatic visa.

“Moses and his colleague are being framed and set up because they are black. In fact, the women in question made racial slurs when the police came to effect the arrest, stating: ‘these black monkeys should be charged with rape'”, the source indicated.

Details follow after an exhaustive investigation by The Analyst.
