A Tough Year for Attorney O.J Elrington

Viewers would recall that earlier this year, O.J. Elrington was charged for sexual offenses after being accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a pair of women following a night out on the city.  While that matter is still before the courts, a few weeks ago, images of the well-known attorney were being circulated on social media.  Those images depict various sexual acts in which Elrington was engaged in with several women.  The decision of the General Legal Council adds to what appears to be a tumultuous year for him.  Earlier today, we asked Elrington how he’s managing under these rather strenuous circumstances.

“From a layman’s perspective, someone on the outside looking in, it would seem as if though you’ve been having quite a difficult year, I mean everything that’s seemingly stacked up against you since the beginning of this year.  How are you navigating all of these challenges or these obstacles?”

 

Orson “O.J’ Elrington, Attorney-at-Law

“With prayer, with reflection, with trying to see what is the lesson. In every obstacle that we face in life there is always some lesson and therefore you have to seek what that lesson is.  When you are in the moment it is at times very difficult for you to see what is the lesson, almost impossible at times, but it’s always that we must seek what is the lesson out of this.  The Almighty puts his heaviest burdens on the strongest soldiers and so we never try to question him.  We always just have to look at what is the lesson out of his and deal with it that way.  And with the support of friends and family and everybody and there are persons who, I always tell people this, you know, people who want to hate you will hate you.  People who will like you will like you.”
