Authorities at the Liberia National Police (LNP) have officially cleared Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Bryant McGill, of any wrongdoing following an investigation into an alleged rape case.
The investigation, launched after a formal complaint was made late last year, has been concluded with no evidence found to support the allegations against McGill.
Police Inspector General, Georgry Coleman’s statement issued on Monday, January 12, 2026, at the police headquarters in Monrovia confirmed McGill’s freedom.
“The LNP has completed a thorough investigation into the matter involving Deputy Minister McGill and found no credible evidence to warrant charges. The case is now considered closed unless new information emerges,” the LNP statement read.
Coleman: “Investigation included GSM call log and cell-site location analysis, independent GPS verification, a review of available CCTV footage, and comprehensive DNA testing conducted by international forensic partners did not link Bryant McGill.”
He said telecommunications and GPS data conclusively showed that McGill was not present at the relevant location at the time of the alleged incident, while CCTV footage failed to place him at the scene.
Additionally, DNA analysis excluded McGill as a contributor to the biological material recovered from the victim’s clothing. Although unidentified male DNA was detected, police confirmed that it did not match McGill’s DNA profile.
“Based on the totality of the digital, forensic, and physical evidence, the LNP has officially exonerated McGill from this investigation,” Coleman said.
He added that the case remains open as authorities continue efforts to identify the unknown DNA contributor.
Meanwhile, the LNP reiterated its commitment to victim protection, fairness, and due process, and encouraged continued cooperation from victim’s family to ensure the real perpetrator is brought to justice.
