City Magistrate Rhondel Weever on Friday found a 20-year-old Providence, East Bank Demerara woman guilty of attempting to extort $10 million from her ex-boyfriend and attempting to frame him of rape.
Princess Williams made her first court appearance back in February 2021 for the offence which alleged that between January 4 – 7, 2021 in Georgetown with intent to extort $10 million from Kenrick Thomas, she threatened to accuse him of attempting to rape her.
She initially pleaded guilty to the charge, but later changed her plea to not guilty and was out on $100,000 bail pending her trial.
After being on trial before Magistrate Weever and found guilty, Williams was remanded to prison pending sentencing.
The Magistrate ordered that a probation report be prepared for Williams and deferred sentencing until June 6, 2022.
Reports indicate that the two were in a relationship for four months. It is alleged that after their relationship ended, Williams sent Thomas an audio message via social media and accused him of attempting to rape her.
She reportedly told him to pay her $10 million and if not, she will provide the police with the evidence. Thomas, however, made a report to the police instead and Williams was arrested.
