He went on to caption the letter with a post where he talked about how he hasn't been able to keep calm because of the allegation of rape levelled against by Korie.

"I have today, June 5th, 2020 filed a petition to the Inspector General of Police, demanding a full-scale investigation. I don’t even know where to begin this from, or what words to use Because I’m angry, hurt, and utterly disgusted; but these are feelings I’m now too afraid to express without being attacked for," he wrote.

I have today, June 5th 2020 filed a petition to the Inspector General of Police, demanding a full-scale investigation. • • I don’t even know where to begin this from, or what words to use Because I’m angry, hurt and utterly disgusted; but these are feelings I’m now too afraid to express without being attacked for. • • I’m appalled that blogs now resort to reporting allegations made anonymously online, without according people the respect of a proper investigation. • • How do I defend myself against someone I can neither identify, nor address and still remain calm. • • As A STRONG ADVOCATE AGAINST RAPE, my immediate response is always to listen to the victim and let their voice be heard because too many have been forced into silence. • • But what I never considered, and perhaps now I should, was how to do this if you’re the accused; and that’s where I find myself now. • • My position on rape REMAINS THE SAME, that it is a violent human rights scourge that no human being must ever suffer. • • And for this very reason, I refuse to be a part of anyone setting women’s voices back when they’re finally finding the courage to speak and are slowly being heard. • • Which is why I’m dedicating myself to getting to the bottom of this, by pursuing these allegations to THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW; and I expect my accuser to do the same. • • Although I’m hurt, I recognize that this is bigger than me. My innocence when proven will hopefully deter others from destroying the many years of advocacy towards ending rape in our society.
