Monrovia, January 12, 2026 — The Liberia National Police have officially cleared Deputy Minister for Youth Development, Bryan McGill, of any wrongdoing following an investigation into an alleged sexual offense case.
The investigation, launched after a formal complaint was made late last year, has concluded with no evidence found to support the allegations against McGill, according to a police Inspector General Col Georgry Coleman statement issued on Monday January 12, 2026 at the police headquarter in Monrovia.
“The Liberia National Police have completed a thorough investigation into the matter involving Deputy Minister McGill and found no credible evidence to warrant charges,” the statement read. “The case is now considered closed unless new information emerges.”
According to the Inspector General, investigative measures included GSM call data and cell-site location analysis, independent GPS verification, a review of available CCTV footage, and comprehensive DNA testing conducted with international forensic partners proved negative.
He said telecommunications and GPS data conclusively showed that Mr. McGill was not present at the relevant location at the time of the alleged incident, while CCTV footage failed to place him at the scene.
Additionally, DNA analysis excluded Mr. McGill as a contributor to biological material recovered from the victim’s clothing.
Although unidentified male DNA was detected, police confirmed that it did not match Mr. McGill’s DNA profile.“Based on the totality of the digital, forensic, and physical evidence, the Liberia National Police has officially exonerated Mr. McGill from this investigation,” Coleman said, adding that the case remains open as authorities continue efforts to identify the unknown DNA contributor.
The LNP reiterated its commitment to victim protection, fairness, and due process, and encouraged continued cooperation from the victim’s family to ensure the real perpetrator is brought to justice.
