BRIDGETOWN, Barbados– Police Sunday confirmed that government legislator Neil Rowe is expected to appear in the Oistins Magistrate’s Court on Monday charged with rape.

Police Public Relations Officer, acting Inspector Rodney Innis, said that Rowe had been in police custody for the past day being investigated on sexual assault allegations and had indeed been charged with rape.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Mia Mottley told supporters of the Barbados Labor Party (BLP) that the Member of Parliament for St. Thomas, Cynthia Forde, will be nominated for the position of Deputy Speaker in the House of Assembly on Tuesday, replacing Rowe.
