Jeff Koinange...was it really date rape?

This affair took place while Jeff's wife was pregnant and he's been subsequently fired from CNN. Marianne is a good deal older than Jeff and has quite a "reputation" on the Continent. Her blog "distantlovers" has been shut down...but not before I got to read all the lover letters and other sordid details passed between the two including her admission to contracting herpes (still awaiting the results of AIDS test) and offering her adult daughter the opportunity to participate in a threesome. She also posted photos of the interior of Jeff's home because he wanted her to know how he lived.

Marianne claimed in her blog that she was a bloody mess after her last contact with Jeff in London but he insists it was just pure excitement being with her once again.

Dear Mr. Walton,

I had sent in August last year to Jeff Koinange the official Press Release of my Book "A Shining Star in Darkness" which talks about the killing of the former Kenyan Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr. Robert Ouko in 1990. I had been involved in the investigations and cooperated with Scotland Yard and gave last evidence in front of a Parliamentary Committee in Nairobi in November/December 2004.

Jeff replied immediately and proposed to have an interview with CNN in Atlanta and to present the book in Inside-Africa.

Soon after he started to call me and things changed to very private and personal matters. He then sent me by email photos showing him and Mandela (comment: sharing a special moment with a special friend), the photo of the Prix-Bayeux-Ceremony (comment: so now you know about if even before my wife does ...) and also some photos showing his Living-Room with his Art Collection (comment: I want you to know how I am living...) and then the book about his Grandfather (one copy he sent also to my daughter) - comment: This will give you an insight who I really am and where I come from ...

During all this time he kept me also informed about his job, his assignments, either by phone (sometimes 3 - 4 times per day) or by email (here even upto 10 per day) sent from different places like Darfur, Congo, Botswana, Malaway etc. and last from Nigeria - besides the 'normal' ones from Johannesburg.

Especially the Nigerian Report was then also a point of our discussion now in London when he gave me some inside information how he had arranged the encounter with these MEND people (" of course I had to pay certain people to get the story - but everything was done in agreement with CNN and in accordance with their usual standards - but you do not get such a story without bribing - you know how the world and especially in Nigeria functions - you have to have financial resources - but at the end it was worth it - CNN has its story and I have my 'fame' ......)

The rest of our 'encounter' in London can be read in the attached document. It was nasty and now has turned into an open threat on my life since he warned me that he would give the details of my Spanish address and my Swiss one (where also my daughter lives) to Nicolas Biwott (in my book named Nick Boit).

Especially the last sentence 'if I was prepared to 'MOVE' again' has made me decide to go with whole story into the open. I have to protect not only myself but also my daughter.

Here you should know that I am living in fear since 15 years - I had to move more than a dozen times - and John Troon (retired Superintendent from Scotland Yard who at that time was leading the investigations in Kenya and with whom I am in contact since) has just now confirmed to me in London that I am still in danger.

When he heard that I am in contact with Jeff Koinange, he told me in very strict words 'you have made a very big mistake to trust a man like him. He will sell you for a good story and also to Biwott - I am even convinced that he has set you up just for this reason ...."

After what has happened in London I am starting to believe him. But I have decided to fight back. I have never been a coward and Jeff should know this. Just read his last emails where he is begging me not to disclose anything because it would 'destroy' him.

I had given him time until March 10 to come here and clarify things and to assure me of the introduction to CNN - but he has decided to threaten me instead.

I have sent the attached document already to Femi Oke together with some remarks Jeff made about her which are very offensive. It should make her a bit careful when dealing with him in the future since he is not the 'nice guy' as he pretends to be.

As I said before, I had hoped to settle his whole nasty matter amicably in arranging the promised interview with CNN and also with Oprah Winfrey whom he had also mentioned would be interested to present my book on her Show. But he has decided not to accept my offer and has started to issuee serious threats against me.

I am therefore going into the open and will start my blog under the title 'The secret life of Jeff Koinange" ............

(The attached documents sent to the CNN bosses contained detailed emails contents of which I covered yesterday. They are yet to reply).

 

I'll see if I can find the entire contents of her blog but here are a few entries:


I can’t remember to have ever felt like that – misused and mistreated by somebody who pretended to love me ….

After you left me – after we had sex in the roughest and most careless way – I felt so dirty and took a shower and stood under the water for more than half an hour. And still continued feeling dirty.

And on top of that you have injured me – I am still bleeding and will go to see a Doctor tomorrow.

But the most offensive thing was your silence afterwards – no word – no call – just nothing.

I spoke with my daughter and there is one question she has repeated: why did he insist that you come to London … although obviously he does not care a bit about you.

And then there is the point of my injury – which scared her a lot and I had to promise to make an Aids-test as soon as possible.

Knowing you now, I do not even expect a reply anymore – but I think you should know how I feel.

Do you remember your nice words: I will never hurt you – I love you and respect you too much to ever disappoint you – just trust me …..?????????????

Just empty words now – like you once said: ‘talk is cheap’ …

I also think that you deserve a kind of revenge – a lesson never to treat a woman like that.

…My only worry now is my health status and then how to carry on trying to forget the whole ‘episode'

One way would be to publish all our correspondence from day one in the Internet – title: ‘Mr X – the real man behind the scenes – a warning to all my Sisters out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’


Here is his immediate reply:

Dear …….,

I wish you knew what I went through the last two days ……

As for your ‘health’, I can assure you that you are ALRIGHT …….. in fact I can PROMISE you that …… as you know I would NEVER put you in any danger …… I told you that once before …… and I am a man of my word.

As for publishing my mails, if you, Ms XXXX, want to be the woman who will DESTROY the reputation I’ve worked so hard to build, to DESTROY the trust I put in you to write from the heart, that will really break my heart……….
