Reggae crooner Elephant Man was taken into custody Monday (Jan. 30) for charges that he raped a woman at his home in Jamaica.

TMZ reports that the 'Jook Gal' creator was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman, whose name was withheld, after officials launched an investigation following a report she filed with local police. The rape, which took place earlier this month, allegedly occurred in his St. Andrew residence.

Born Oneil Bryan, the dancehall artist was questioned in front of his lawyer by authorities working for the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse. He was subsequently arrested and charged with grievous sexual assault and rape.

Last August, Elephant Man, known as the "Energy God," was charged with energy theft after police claim that they discovered several appliances in the reggae performer's apartment, which were connected to an illegal connection.

If 'ALL' of the incidents they call news were ever printed in book form, it would circle the Earth 100 times. Can you imagine the devious sexual acts that happen each minute of every day that you never hear of because there are millions happening every day. How about murder, rape, accidents that take lives, fires, explosions, and etc. Millions and millions of incidents. Yes, as individuals we know of nothing that goes on. This world is screwed. The day is coming, soon..

First of all....to classify this animal as a musician is way off to begin with. Second of all if "Elephant Man" can't control what he does with his trunk; then he should be caged like other wild animals or sent to Africa or India where he can roam the wild with his compadres !

Elephant Man, known as the "Energy God,"

I guess he had so much energy, he had to expend it somewhere, so he used it on his victim.

Rape, robbery, murder and drugs are all too common with obama-types.
