Bze-Brit Soldier Lee Busano Accused of Multiple Rapes
posted (May 12, 2015)
28 year-old Lee Busano, a Belizean serving in the British Army at the rank of Lance Corporal, is currently on trial for rape charges in the Crown Court at Preston, Lancashire. 2 women have accused him of raping them, while a third has accused him of sexually assaulting her.

Our sources tell us that Busano is a native of Dangriga Town, but he is currently based at the Weeton Army Barracks in Lancashire, where he serves as the British Army's physical training inspector.

The jury heard video testimony from the first victim, a 29 year-old who said that Busano raped her at her house in March 2014. She said she tried to strangle him and headbutted him but he just laughed. After he committed the crime, he went to the gym.

A second victim also testified against Busano and told the court that he raped her only a week after he allegedly attacked the first victim. She gave evidence that Busano sat on her, headbutted her in the face a few times and burst her nose. His second accuser says that while he raped her, he allegedly made the bold claim, "I can do what I want."

A third woman also accused him of sexually assaulting her in November 2014, which was a few months later. In that attack, Busano allegedly, punched her in the face before pushing her down. He then climbed on top and sexually assaulted her. He dragged her back when she tried to escape from him.

In his own defence, Busano has denied all three accusations made against him.
