I have also intervened, I’ve spoken to the investigative officers, I have looked at the evidence that is available, but we are still pursuing that investigation. And if you know how we do our thing, we don’t make a lot of noise when we do our investigation. We investigate, and then we speak after.

Bailey reiterated the urgency with which the matter is being treated and revealed that he has contacted the entertainer’s mother Millicent McCurdy.

“I want to reassure in particular the mother — and I have spoken to her personally — that her matter is not neglected. We continue to focus on it and we will continue to pursue all leads and use all the resources that we have,” he said.

In the meantime, Bailey also took the opportunity to warn young women about entertaining relationships that may bring harm to them.

“I just want to point out that whilst we cannot tell an individual how they should live their lives, one must be cautious with the type of relationship that they engage in.
