Alleged victim testifies in rape trial
A Korean tourist testified yesterday how Bradley Demapan, a former resort employee, allegedly raped her in the bushes north of the Pacific Islands Club in San Antonio in July 2013.
The alleged victim was among the government’s six witnesses called to the stand yesterday.
Police detective Isapen Bokuku, who is the case agent, was the government’s last witness of the day.
Assistant attorney general Barbara Cepeda is expected to call Guam chief medical examiner Aurelio Espinola and one more witness when trial resumes today, Wednesday.
Attorney Steven Pixley said the defense may call at least two witnesses.
Pixley questioned the relevance of calling Espinola when there’s no dead body involved.
The alleged victim basically testified how Demapan and another hotel employee joined her and her female friend’s drinking session at the Buoy Bar on the evening of July 25, 2013. Demapan allegedly ended up raping her in the bushes at the beachside.
The hotel’s security guard and a tour guide allegedly heard screams and found the alleged victim and Demapan in the bushes north of PIC.
The Office of the Attorney General charged the 27-year-old Demapan with sexual assault in the first degree, assault and battery, and disturbing the peace. He pleaded not guilty.
