Stanley
vs Frederick: Apology Demanded
M.G. George
Housing and
Physical Development Minister Stanley Felix
is demanding an apology from Richard Frederick
and Radio 100FM over statements made by the
former Housing Minister on his radio show last
Friday.
Felix further demanded from both Frederick and
Radio 100FM a full retraction of the statements
made against him, which he described as false
and malicious.
He added that should an apology and retraction
not forthcoming he would go for the maximum
award a court in this jurisdiction can afford
him.
“I will not stand still until justice
is served,” Felix said.
It was on January 27, 2012 that Frederick, on
his radio talk show “Can I Help You”
aired on Radio 100FM, made certain statements
to the effect that the Stanley Felix said to
be on the internet convicted of rape and imprisoned
in the United States of America while he was
attending college was, in his mind, Housing
Minister Stanley Felix.
Frederick on his show stated that he searched
the internet for about three hours and found
several persons by the name of Stanly Felix.
“There were several Stanley Felix’s
but when you put in the date of birth which
is the 27th of May, 1963 one Stanley Felix came
up, his addresses in New York, Flushing Meadows;
Corona, New York; Fredonia, New York and relatives.
Relatives: Beverley A. Henry, Mildred S. Felix,
Julia M. Felix-mother and sister, Baptiste Felix
– Marketplace his uncle, on an inmate
list.
“In my view the question is not whether
Mr. Felix went to prison, the question is why?
My name is not on any inmate list. The relatives,
the date of birth, 27th May, 1963 ….Mildred
S. Felix, Julia M. Felix and Baptiste J. Felix
it’s on the internet I did not put it
there. I am saying this, and like I said, there
is no question in my mind, the question is why,”
Frederick said on his show.
Felix Tuesday held a press conference to give
his take on the publication of the statements
which was first posted on the internet by a
Face Book user who goes by the name Mafo Montana
and was further featured on the Face Book page
of a UWP member.
According to the Minister, Frederick “made
very serious, damaging and defamatory allegations
against myself to the effect that I had been
imprisoned in the United States while attending
university”.

“Following on from the
publication of these false statements, both
my family and I have been subjected to numerous
calls, text and emails from individuals from
all over the world, all enquiring about the
statement made by Richard Frederick, and aired
over Radio 100 during his Friday morning talk
show,” Felix said.
“The allegations made on these Face
book pages and by Richard Frederick are totally
and completely false. I have never been imprisoned
in the United States or for that matter anywhere
else in the world, nor have I ever been convicted
of any criminal offence anywhere in the world,”
Felix said.
He added that the statements made by Richard
Frederick were completely false, malicious
and rooted in deceit and political mischief
designed to cause serious damage to his character,
reputation and credibility.
“As such I have instructed my attorneys
to institute proceedings against Richard Frederick
and Radio 100FM immediately for the Tort of
Defamation and I am considering also the offence
of criminal libel,” Felix said.
The Minister added that Frederick and Radio
100FM are to issue an apology within 48 hours
of receiving a letter from his attorneys demanding
an apology and a full retraction of the false
and malicious statements made against him.
The letter to Frederick and the radio station
was delivered Tuesday, according to Felix
however, the Minister could not explain why
his mother’s name and other names of
family members were listed as family members
of the Stanley Felix that’s on the internet
said to have been imprisoned for rape while
attending the New York University.
“I cannot explain that ….they
are persons I know but I cannot explain why
their names appear there. The fact is I Stanley
Felix has never, ever been arrested, charged,
convicted nor imprisoned anywhere in the entire
world,” Felix said.
“The fact is he (Frederick) made the
allegations quite convincingly. He said that
he had no doubt that I was in prison, the
question is why? He now will be given the
opportunity to prove to the world that I was
in prison in the United States as he so alleges,”
Felix said.
