The former foreign student who was raped by the British Officer PC Lee Martin-Cramp said the ordeal has had a lasting impact on her life.
The victim, whose name is legally restricted from publication, told state media, “I’m going to remember this for the rest of my life. It’s not something that is just within one traumatic day, it’s something that lasts for forever”.
Martin-Cramp’s case is the first time a UK citizen has been extradited to Antigua & Barbuda to face criminal charges.
The Scotland Yard Officer attempted to block the extradition claiming inhumane conditions at Her Majesty’s Prison, which is commonly called 1735 based on the year it was built.
However, in a legal first, local authorities convinced a London judge to sign off on the extraction by assuring that the accused officer will be kept in very comfortable conditions at the former US air base.
The complainant thanked the authorities for ensuring her rapist was brought to justice.
“It is encouraging that steps are being taken to continue fighting for those that have been through such traumatic events such as mine. Thank you Antigua for believing me and for fighting for me. This is not just a victory for me but for all the survivors out there”, she said.
It is unclear where the convicted officer will serve his sentence, which is expected to be handed down in July.

The reprobate spiked her drink, raped her and robbed her of her virginity. I hope he gets a very harsh punishment- one that will send a strong signal to other assholes who have no respect for females. Worse yet look at his profession – to protect and to serve. Send hid sick, messed up baxide to jail for a long ass time.
I hope the young lady gets all the help needed to deal with the trauma.
Miss, you did a good thing. You stuck to the fight. Many women let the matter slide or settle and many SUPERLAZY lawyers allow them to. Congratulations. Even in adversity, one can celebrate. Take that fighting spirit with you for the rest of your life and you will be just fine. THANK YOU.
This white boy needs to spend several years in 1735. The boys at 1735 will know how to deal with him, respectfully!!! Good luck. You’ll need it.
