Big Tom Offered Bail

Kenneth "Big Tom" Flowers

He was rounded up in early September and remanded to the Belize Central Prison for allegedly coercing a grotesque sexual act between two persons who were being videoed.  On Friday, thirty-five-year-old Kenneth “Big Tom” Flowers was granted bail by the Supreme Court.  Flowers’ attorney, Anthony Sylvestre was able to convince Justice Herbert Lord that Flowers poses no flight risk, and is entitled to his freedom while he awaits trial for the charge of “Producing Defilement of A Person By Threat.”  His bail was on the conditions that Flowers does not interfere with the Prosecution’s witnesses, and that he reports to the Police every week, and returns to Court on his next scheduled date. Flowers, a notorious gang figure, was remanded to prison while the last State of Emergency was still in effect on the City’s south side, where he resides.
