Accused serial rapist on the run has been cut down ............

A serial rapist with over 9 charges of rape and assault hanging over his head and who is said to have been a master mind of a rape ring in central Jamaica which targeted young women mostly from the working class and which also included same gender loving women who are massaged into dates or meetings online via social networks has been cut down by the police. He was awaiting trial for several of the counts that were against his name but some of the cases had stalled as the victims did not come forward. Impeccable sources were able to confirm his identity and some other particulars, thanks to them for alerting me on this.

According to the Radio Jamaica News recently they reported on September 16th:

A St. Ann man suspected to be a notorious rapist who was being hunted by the police after he escaped custody, in July, met a tragic demise in Montego Bay, St. James, Friday afternoon. Twenty-four year old Vivian Brady of Mount Olivet was cut down in a hail of bullets, following a police operation in an area known as "Whitehouse", close to the Sangster International Airport. Brady, who was wanted for multiple counts of sexual assault, was killed moments after abducting a woman and attempting to rape her. 

 According to police reports, about 3p.m., Brady, who was driving a stolen car, held up a woman at knife point and drove her to an area known as Morgan's Road, near the airport. The woman reportedly put up a fight and sustained knife wounds. She managed to escape and made a report to the Coral Gardens Police Station. Members of a police party cornered Brady near the airport. He was shot and killed. Brady reportedly escaped on July 20, while being transported from Clarks Town in Trelawny to a lock-up in St Ann. Since that time he frequented the Coral Gardens and Ironshore areas. The policemen involved have been placed on interdiction. Brady was charged in five parishes for several sexual offences including rape and abduction, as well as robbery. In St Ann alone, there were at least 10 sexual offence charges against him.

While The Star News some months before as well carried an All Points Bulletin of sorts on the escaped man who eluded the security systems and was in hiding: (July 26, 2011)

Detectives seek public's assistance in locating escapee

Detectives in the St Ann Division are seeking the public's assistance in locating 24-year-old Vivian Brady of Mount Olivet in St Ann who escaped police custody on Wednesday, July 20.

He is facing several charges for offences which occurred in the St Ann Division. It is also reported that he has similar charges in St James, Trelawny, St Mary and Westmoreland.


These charges are:

Reports are that Brady escaped custody while being transported from the Clarks Town Police Station lock-up in Trelawny, to the St Ann's Bay Police Station lock-up in St Ann where he was expected to have attended the St Ann Circuit Court to answer to several charges on Thursday, July 21. He reportedly escaped custody when they got to a section of the Mount Olivet main road, Runaway Bay, St Ann.

There is now an ongoing operation to recapture Brady but, in the meantime, police are appealing to members of the public who may know of his whereabouts to contact them at 972-2211, Kingfish at 811, Crime Stop at 311, police 119 emergency number or the nearest police station.

ENDS

This business of corrective rape has been increasing since later 2007 when I was acting in the crisis intervention  role whilst at Jamaica Forum for Lesbians Allsexuals and Gays JFLAG where the first case I saw was a telling one where a couple was forced out of their own home and raped at gunpoint in Portmore St. Catherine, the brutal act left one woman distraught and concerns raised by the lesbian community and their representative group WomenforWomen. 

Unfortunately the issue is barely glanced at by the J and conveniently used in press releases and newspaper articles but no real interventions to assist women in defending themselves at best of raising the awareness of the problem. Similar to the homeless msm (men who have sex with men) populations rise over the years and JFLAG crudely ignoring this issue until it became a national news item, one hopes this doesn't happen to the same gender loving females as well where persons are hurt and left to fend for themselves with no serious in house frontline interventions to include psycho-social work with recovering persons.

Well one is off the streets albeit he was not alive the face the courts.

Be vigilant, Be Safe

Peace and tolerance
