5 More Cavetubing.com Employees Charged
posted (June 6, 2014)
Five employees from Yhonny Rosado's company, Cavetubing.com are facing criminal charges tonight. Investigators have charged them for dangerous harm and use of deadly means of harm on Vitalino Reyes Jr, who remains in a coma.

The five join another employee, Leon Gentle who was charged on Tuesday. So, despite denials that they had anything to do with the Reyes beat down, six of Rosado's employees have now been charged for it.

Outside court today, their attorney Audrey Matura Shepherd expressed her displeasure with the way things have progressed:..

Audrey Matura Shepherd, attorney
"Those maintained yes they were at that bar but they never touched that person. The second thing with that however is that I really have an issue with how police dealt with this case because yesterday I sat with sergeant Milan who is responsible for this case and he had ask if my clients would do an ID parade and I explain to them no and why. These gentlemen were at the bar that night, 4 police officers arrived, did on the spot interview to determine who was by the guy and who wasn't. These guys were cleared totally. I am waiting to see the disclosure to see who would have come forward and say that these guys were by the guy because what was there that night was being allege now, so if police had really believe these were attacked there and they had the people there and then, they don't have a problem with identity and you don't take them in because there and then you got word from people that they were not involved with anything how did we reach at this stage?"

"Because these 5 people has just been dragged in that it might happen to Mr. Rosado himself who was at the bar?"

Audrey Matura Shepherd, attorney
"Well I ask the police that quite blank is it that you now detained, arrest and charged Mr. Yhonny Rosado and he said no, he is cleared, which is ironic because then it would mean they are trying to say that we cleared Mr. Rosado who in his statement to them said these guys stood with him. The guys gave statement as well and suddenly you believe one but you don't believe the other 5? It's just so ironic."

The five employees were arraigned this evening on harm and dangerous harm charges and they all were offered and met bail of seven thousand dollars.
