MONROVIA — In a major update today, January 12, Police Inspector General Gregory Coleman announced that Deputy Minister Bryant McGill has been fully exonerated of rape allegations following a conclusive forensic investigation.
The breakthrough follows months of laboratory analysis. IG Coleman clarified that the forensic results definitively clear McGill of any involvement in the alleged assault, leading authorities to officially drop him as a person of interest.
The Inspector General further noted that the investigation remains open as police pivot to identify “unknown DNA contributors” discovered during the testing process. IG Coleman stated that while McGill has been cleared, the pursuit of the actual perpetrators continues with “renewed vigor.”
IG Coleman stated that the LNP’s commitment to the truth guided this process.
The Police chief told reporters that While the Deputy Minister is exonerated, this case is far from closed.
“We are now focused on matching the recovered DNA to the individuals responsible.”
The allegations surfaced last August after a 14-year-old girl accused the then-Deputy Minister for Youth Development at the Ministry of Youth and Sports of sexual assault. Today’s forensic findings, however, have formally removed him from the inquiry.
