KINGSTON, Jamaica - Reggae artist Capleton was released on J$250,000 (US$1,995) bail after appearing in court on a rape charge this morning.

The 51-year-old Jamaican entertainer, whose real name is Clifton Bailey, was ordered not to have any contact with the complainant, as a condition of his bail release.

However, Capleton, who has to perform at several overseas shows from May 25 to June 27, will not have to surrender his travel documents.

He returns to court on June 14.

The entertainer was last week questioned by detectives at the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse about having sexual intercourse with a hairdresser without her consent on April 28.

It’s alleged that Capleton raped the complainant when she went to his hotel that day to groom his hair.

She reported the incident to police four days later, but Capleton subsequently claimed that the woman was trying to extort him.

Police are investigating the extortion allegation.

    Grown women, you know better. Going to a hotel to meet a man to do his hair, is a red flag. Why couldn’t he come to where you were with people around? Stop putting yourselves in these situations. If he didn’t want to be around a lot of people, another red flag. Let someone else do his hair and stop being flattered every tine a man says your attractive or whatever. If it was for extortion as he said, you should be ashamed of yourself, and you need jail time for filing a false report on this man. Let’s see the outcome of this.
