A British national has fled to his country to evade arrest and prosecution over sex crimes.
Trevor Finn is facing sexual assault and rape charges after several women accused him, in addition to a child negligence case.
Finn, who is the chairman of Vipingo Ridge Golf Resort in Kilifi County, fled the country late last month and is yet to return to face his accusers.
Four women, who are casual employees of the resort, have already recorded statements at Vipingo Police Station.
The four came forward after one of their colleagues accused Finn of impregnating her and blocking her from accessing the facility.
Some of the complainants claim he touched them inappropriately or exposed his genitalia to them in his office during job interviews.
One particular complainant claimed he forced her to undress and had unprotected sex with her in his office.
“We have these cases reported here, but we are not able to get the suspect as he is said to be out of the country,” one of the investigation team members said.
Last month, Mr. Finn was accused of sleeping with a young lady from the Vipingo area and putting her in the family way before vanishing.
The young girl attempted to access Vipingo Ridge as she sought help from her baby daddy-to-be but was repulsed by hawk-eyed security guards at Vipingo Ridge Golf Estate.
Desperate, the lady reported the matter to the local police, who said their powers were limited.
The lady (name withheld for safety reasons) wanted Finn’s passport to be detained to await the birth of the baby as he may fly to the UK to avoid the storm.
However, after the claims became public, the British national plotted to quietly fly out.
The lady claimed she met him at the golf resort when she went looking for menial jobs, where he offered to help her secure a job since his son-in-law is the CEO.
However, that promise was never fulfilled.
According to her, Finn used to drive her to some villa in Kilifi, where they had unprotected sex for months.
He would then reward her with cash gifts and promises but went missing as soon as she disclosed her pregnancy.
This comes in the wake of court battles over ownership of the multi-billion resort, where ex-rally driver Alastair Cavenagh has accused his co-directors of conspiring to throw him out of the estate.
Cavenagh has sued his co-directors, Christopher Gordon Horsey and David Horsey, accusing them of trying to illegally acquire a majority stake in an offshore firm that has interests in Vipingo Ridge.
The Horseys and Cavenagh have a stake in First European Finance Investment (FEFI) Ltd, one of the firms that has shares in Sunsail Trading Limited, Vipingo Ridge Limited, and Vipingo Beach Ltd—the three firms that own the luxurious golf resort.
The Horseys appointed their sons, Jason, Peter, Alex, and in-law Trevor Finn to the board, giving them four seats against three and thus board majority, in violation of the agreement between Cavenagh and themselves, stating that they would not take majority control of the companies.
The Horseys forced the removal of founder Cavenagh as chairman in September 2023 and replaced him with Trevor Finn, Alex Horsey’s father-in-law, a car salesman from the UK.
Trevor Finn’s daughter, Victoria, is married to Alex, who is the son of Christopher Horace Horsey.
Alex was appointed by the Horseys as the CEO of Vipingo Ridge in June 2023.
Alex has no experience running such a company and has made a series of unpopular decisions and mistakes as a result.
The Horseys and Trevor Finn’s unpopularity has led to 65 homeowners filing a legal petition to have them removed for nepotism and incompetence, seeking to have duly qualified Kenyans given the jobs in their place.
