Eugene Reneau Says He’s No Rapist
posted (June 23, 2014)
In March, Eugene Reneau was remanded for rape. The BWSL Temp worker and father of 3 was accused of raping a woman at knife-point in a swamp off the side of the road.

He was charged for rape and remanded for three months. But the story is far more complicated than that; in fact it is very complicated. And we can't really get into the details because we can't release or even point to the identity of the alleged victim.

So, all we can say is that Reneau had a familiar relationship with her; they weren't strangers. In fact on that night he want at 2:30 am to pick her up from Los Lagos - and the allegation springs from that encounter.

But, today - his 52nd birthday when he got out on bail after three months on remand - he came to clear his name: he says he didn't rape anyone:...

Eugene Reneau
"I am a very respectable person street knowledge wise you know and for all my years coming up nobody know me as a rapist, they know me more as a "gialist," somebody who has a lot of ladies and things like that and then I don't see myself as being a comfortable person right now everywhere I turn I have to explain myself like I have done something so wrong and that kind of got me in a situation that I might just flip sometimes, but at the end of the day I know deep down in my heart I never really commit that crime. Now I end up losing my job, lose my home and at this point in time I could say that I lose my kids at this moment. When it comes to my job I would want BWS know from my heart that I am a very respectable person and I never raped anyone."

Reneau who had been working at BWSL for 11 months hopes he can get his job back. He also hopes to get custody of his children who are in foster care.
