McKeeva Bush acquitted of indecent assault after Crown drops case
Former Premier McKeeva Bush was found not guilty of indecent assault in Grand Court on Friday morning, 5 Sept., after the Crown prosecution confirmed it would not be pursuing the case against him.
Bush had been accused of assaulting two female civil servants at a government-hosted reception at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman in September 2022.
Senior prosecutor Scott Wainwright informed Justice Emma Peters that given the Crown’s “ongoing duty of review, we do not consider that it is any longer in the public interest to pursue this matter to a second trial”.
He said the Crown was offering no evidence on the charges.
Peters then declared she was finding Bush not guilty on the two charges of indecent assault, and also on two alternative charges of common assault.
