A prominent politician in Guyana, Nigel Dharamlall, has been accused of sexual assault for the second time within a year. The accuser, economist Sarah Aneesah Hakh, alleged that Dharamlall sexually assaulted her in 2020 and 2021. The first incident reportedly occurred during a business meeting when Dharamlall held a senior ministerial position in Guyana's regional development.
Hakh expressed disbelief that Dharamlall remains a member of the ruling People's Progressive Party despite the allegations against him. Dharamlall, who denied the accusations, claimed that Hakh's motives were to tarnish his reputation after he rejected her advances.
