Former Minister and expelled UWP member, Richard Fredrick, has denied what he says are widespread rumours that he orchestrated or was somehow involved in the nude photo scandal facing Dr Ubladus Raymond. Dr Raymond himself in a press conference last week stated that political operatives are trying to destroy his character. Fredrick, on his talk show, announced that it has been alleged that he bought the nude photos from the 18 year old girl now charged with trying to bribe the Finance Minister. He says there is also talk that he posted the teen’s bail money. Fredrick has vehemently denied all these claims and produced text messages from December, when he says a friend of the teen contacted him about the photos. Fredrick says he tried to reach out to Dr Raymond but only to offer him help and advice. He says the Minister must stop trying to cast the blame on others.
