After more than two years of facing a serious rape charge, 27-year-old Mic Llewellyn Flowers is now a free man. The High Court dismissed the case after the alleged victim refused to testify, forcing the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to enter a nolle prosequi, officially dropping the charges.
Flowers was accused of raping a 17-year-old high school student on October 21, 2022. According to reports, the teenager attended a wake before heading to Eruption Night Club with a friend. She later lost consciousness and woke up the next morning wearing only her underwear inside an abandoned vehicle. A concerned neighbor, who noticed unusual activity near his property, alerted authorities. Surveillance footage allegedly showed Flowers with the victim, leading to his arrest.
Following a police investigation and a medical examination of the victim, Flowers was charged with rape and granted $10,000 bail. He was committed to stand trial in 2023, with the case set to begin on February 10, 2025. However, when he arrived late to court, he was remanded overnight at the Belize Central Prison.
The case was called again on February 11, but with the victim unwilling to testify, prosecutors had no choice but to drop the charges. Flowers, who faced a potential sentence of eight years to life in prison if convicted, walked free.
Flowers was represented by attorney Ronell Gonzalez.
