Popular dancer charged with fraud

- ANDRÉ WILLIAMS STAR Writer

Popular dancer Raddy Rich is now on bail after he was arrested on fraud charges. Raddy Rich, whose given name is Rohan Lyttle, is charged jointly with Jamar Purrier and Howard Hares with conspiracy to defraud and possession of forged documents.

The dancer, who is the choreograp­her behind Nikki Minaj and Sean Kingston’s Dutty Love, was granted bail when he appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court yesterday.

Along with his co-accused, Raddy Rich was granted $100,000 with surety. He is to return to court on January 19, next year.

In court yesterday, the attorney representi­ng Raddy Rich said that his client had a show overseas and would comply with conditions of his bail. The court was told that the dancer had an engagement in North Carolina, USA.

Parish Judge Chester Crooks told the attorney that an itinerary would have to be presented to allow the dancer to travel. However, after further dialogue, the judge permitted the dancer to travel from November 25 to 28.

“If you are not back by the 30th, you have committed a breach of your condition,” the judge said.

Both Purrier and Hares are to report to the Duhaney Park Police Station on Mondays and Fridays between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Raddy Rich is to report on Thursdays and Saturdays between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
