Popular journalist accused of rapping college girl after taking her for an outing

TV personality Tony Timase was forced to head over to Kilimani police station to record a statement about a date he recently had with a college girl.

According to the Star Newspaper, the young girl claims that Timase might have drugged her since she doesn’t remember anything that happened after the date.

Timase reported the incident as an extortion attempt.

“I was introduced to Tony by a client identified as Jenny. She told me he would help me flourish. I work at a beauty shop along Kiambu Road, and I wanted someone to help me push my business. Tony picked me at Jacaranda along Thika Road on Saturday evening at around 8pm and told me where he was taking me was a surprise. We got to a hotel at around 9pm, and I don’t know what happened thereafter. I found myself at a stage full of boda bodas. I called another friend of mine, who later helped me,” claims the lady.

Extortion plan?

Screenshots from the lady show that the two were together that day.

“Jana who took me home. And did we do anything odd? haha.”

The veteran journalist responds: “Sweets si you took a cab. Sina gari saa hii. When it’s fixed I will be dropping you always. I actually wanted to keep you till morning.”

“This is the craziest allegation I’ve ever heard. It’s not true. I don’t know a person by that name. On Saturday night, I was watching UCL finals pitting Liverpool against Real Madrid with my friend. After that, I went to Kengeles pub near Nyayo Stadium with my friend and my girlfriend,” said Timase after he was called by The Star.

“Stop trying to deny. You have admitted you were with her yesterday,” the lady’s boyfriend interjected, accusing him of rapping his girlfriend.

Timase replied: “I was not with your wife or any other day. I don’t know who Jenny is, and when I was in the game, never did I ask for help to hit on a chick. I always did it myself.”

The boyfriend said: “You know man I used to respect you sana ukiwa kwa TV but this is how you are? Taking advantage of others just because you’re popular? I’m sure you wouldn’t let it slide if I slept with your woman, that’s if you have one. And so you had to drug her too to sleep with her or what? Because she was pretty much drugged when she came home.”
