On
August 2, 2006, The Star carried a lead story,
'14 men rape girl', and in that story we incorrectly
stated that Emmanuel Dell was charged with
rape.
We
wish to state unequivocally that we are
satisfied that Emmanuel Dell was not one
of the 14 persons involved in the alleged
gang rape of a 13-year-old and that he was
not charged with rape.
Mr.
Dell has been charged with attempting to
pervert the course of justice, malicious
destruction of property, assaulting police
and resisting arrest. We apologise for any
inconvenience that this error may have caused.
