Attorneys for Martin George, the senior attorney recently charged with two sexual offences, have issued a pre-action protocol letter to the Trinidad Express newspaper and its parent company Caribbean Communications Network (CCN).

They are accusing both media houses of defamation and demanding an immediate front-page apology, retraction and damages.

“We call upon you to immediately publish on the front page in the next issue of the Sunday Express an unqualified apology to our client and we are of the respectful view that same should be done immediately to repair the damage to our client’s reputation.”
