Cayman Islands: Former premier being investigated for decade-old sexual assault allegation

Former Cayman Islands premier McKeeva Bush is under investigation for a new allegation of sexual assault, dating back more than two decades.

In a brief statement, a police spokesperson stated that the police received a complaint concerning an allegation of sexual assault against Mr. Bush dating back to 2000.

The allegations come some eight weeks after Bush resigned from the role of Speaker of the Cayman Islands Parliament amid public criticism over a separate, unrelated incident of alleged assault against two women.
