KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan 04 2015, CNS – A young woman was allegedly chopped by her neighbour who assumed she was a lesbian.
"Apparently she has an issue with me, I don't know what it is really. She is making all kinds of assumptions," the victim disclosed to the Jamaica Observer. "Because I live in a two-bedroom house with another female, she is automatically assuming that I am a lesbian."
Questioned as to whether there was any truth to the assumptions, she responded: "But me being a lesbian or not being a lesbian has nothing to do with me being chopped and that's what this is about. My sexuality has nothing to do with it, whether or not I am straight or gay, people can assume; I have nothing to say, no comment on that."
The victim told the Sunday Observer that the matter should now be before the courts, but she is questioning whether it is a situation where her case is being stalled, because when she turned up for the initial December 12 court date, she found out that there was no case file.
The situation came to a head on November 21, according to the victim, when she was involved in a tussle with her neighbour, after which she received chop wounds.
The case file has since been found and, according to the victim, attempts are now being made to serve her neighbour with a summons.
"I don't understand what I did to this woman for her to feel like she had the right to come into my house… My mindset is out of place, I wake up at 1:00 or 2:00 am in pain," she disclosed. "I look over my shoulder every sound I hear, she doesn't understand what she has done to me."
She is adamant that she will not stop until she gets some justice.
