Women Legislative Caucus demands speedy investigation into alleged r**e case

By Prince Mulbah

The Women’s Legislative Caucus of Liberia says it is deeply disturbed by recent reports of an alleged r**e incident involving Deputy Minister Bryant McGill of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

A statement under the signature of Women Caucus Chair Allen Attoh-Wreh, the Caucus said the allegation has drawn national concern and calls for swift and just action.

According to Representative Attoh-Wreh, the Caucus strongly condemned any form of sexual and gender-based violence and expressed solidarity with the survivor of this deeply troubling incident, stating the women in the Legislature view this matter with the utmost seriousness and are committed to ensuring that justice is pursued without fear or favor.

The WLC is therefore calling on the Government of Liberia, through the Ministry of Justice, to launch an immediate, impartial, and thorough investigation into this case, urging all relevant authorities to ensure that due process is followed and that the rights of all parties, especially the alleged victim, are protected.

Furthermore, the Women’s Legislative Caucus demands that the survivor be placed in a safe home or protected environment where she can receive psychosocial support and remain shielded from intimidation, bullying, or undue influence during the course of the investigation. Protecting her well-being is paramount.

According to the statement, the case once again highlights the urgent need for robust mechanisms to address and prevent sexual violence in both public and private spaces.

Court Orders Mental Evaluation for Armed Robbery Suspect Foday Johnson Amid Mental Health Claims.

Monrovia, Liberia – September 12, 2025

The Criminal Court “A” at the Temple of Justice in Monrovia has ruled in favor of a mental capacity evaluation for Foday Emery Johnson, the defendant facing multiple charges, including armed robbery, criminal attempt to commit murder, and illegal possession of a lethal weapon.

It can be recalled the defense lawyers filed a motion arguing that ongoing treatment and medical records indicate serious mental health conditions, warranting a full evaluation. The motion claims that subjecting the defendant to trial without assessing his mental state could lead to a miscarriage of justice.

Presided over by His Honor Roosevelt Z. Willie, the ruling came during the 28th Day Jury Sitting of the August Term, following a Bill of Information submitted by Johnson’s legal counsel, citing the defendant's mental incapacity to stand trial.

Based on documented diagnoses from ELWA Hospital and a medical facility in Cyprus, Johnson was previously identified as suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Bipolar Disorder with symptoms of mania, depression, and anxiety. His defense argued that these conditions impair his ability to comprehend and participate in legal proceedings.

In the ruling, Judge Willie cited Chapter 6, Subsection 6.2 of the Criminal Procedure Law, which allows a court to order that a defendant be committed to a medical facility for mental examination if there are reasonable doubts about their ability to understand the proceedings or assist in their own defense.

"The Court... grants the Bill of Information in part," the ruling states. "The portion that has to do with ordering a mental capacity evaluation of the Informant is granted... However, the request for temporary or compassionate release is denied."

The court ordered that Johnson be transferred from the Monrovia Central Prison to E.S. Grant Hospital, where a full medical evaluation will be conducted. The hospital has been instructed to submit a formal mental capacity report by Monday, September 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

This decision effectively suspends the ongoing criminal proceedings until the mental fitness of the defendant is confirmed.

Key Points:
Defendant facing capital and felony charges. Court acknowledges medical history of anxiety and bipolar disorder.
Temporary release denied pending full evaluation. Trial suspended awaiting mental health report from E.S. Grant Hospital.

As the case develops, legal experts and the public alike await the outcome of the mental health assessment, which could significantly impact the course of the trial.
