Bridgetown.
Derick Crawford the man who was accused of raping two British women in October in 2010, is seeking compensation from the Government of Barbados for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment .
The case of double rape against Crawford was dismissed in a closed door Preliminary Inquiry at the Holetown Magistrates' Court yesterday, yesterday after the virtural complainants Dr Rachel Turner and Diane Davies said he was not the man who raped them.
While Crawford is tightlipped over the matter, his lawyer Andrew Pilgrim told Trakker News he would file a lawsuit against the Crown to compensate for the 18 months his client spent on remand before the matter was heard.
"As far as Derick Crawford is concern a wrong was done to him. All parties involved would like to have some indication from the Commissioner of Police or from the Director of Public Prosecutions as to what this really means', Pilgrim said.
He added that there was no doubt that a lawsuit seeking monetary damages would be Crawford's next course of action.
