⚖️ Woman maintains rape allegations against McKeeva Bush despite challenging cross-examination

In a tense day of cross-examination, the woman accusing McKeeva Bush of raping her over two decades ago found it difficult to answer questions or recount the events of the alleged assault. Despite this, she vehemently denied lying about the incident and questioned why she would fabricate such a story about one of the most influential figures in the Cayman Islands. Although she could only recall a few details of the assault and frequently broke down when asked about it, she asserted, "I know that it happened to me." The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has brought forward historical rape and sexual assault allegations against Bush. 🏛️

Throughout the cross-examination, the woman often became upset or defensive when asked to remember specific details, accusing Bush's attorney of badgering her. The attorney avoided asking about the alleged rape's details but questioned her about the moments before and after, as well as her actions when faced with Bush's purported sexual advances. Despite the challenging questioning, the woman maintained that she was not lying and insisted that the assault occurred. She revealed that she had kept the incident a secret for many years, only starting to share her story in 2021. Some family members, including her mother, aunt, and brother, who are close to Bush, refused to believe her, causing further emotional distress. The trial continues. ⚖️
