Rape charge cop in luxury paradise digs

-

A BRITISH policeman has been given plush digs while awaiting trial for rape in the Caribbean.

PC Lee Martin-Cramp, 25, is accused of attacking a student while attending a family wedding on Antigua three years ago.

The Met Police officer tried to block his extraditio­n on the grounds that conditions in the island’s jail were inhumane.

So Antigua agreed he can live in an ex-US air base with air-conditioni­ng, a fridge, and en-suite bathroom while on remand for his trial later this month.

Chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot said: “The conditions were satisfacto­ry, to say the least.”
