Charlestown, Nevis, October 29, 2019 – Concerned members of the Nevis community are concerned that no wanted bulletin has been issued for a police constable alleged to have had sexual intercourse with an under-age girl and are of the view that law enforcement is attempting to cover it up.
According to a reliable source in Nevis, the police constable, who was recruited among the last batch of officers to be trained, had sexual intercourse with the 15-year-old girl on more than one occasion and may have absconded.
“A complaint was made to the police nearly two weeks ago by the mother of the girl. We have heard that the officer, who is from St Vincent, has not been arrested and charged because he is either in hiding or have slipped out of the country,” said the source, who requested anonymity on Tuesday.
“What is even more troubling is that police have not issued a statement on the matter or a wanted bulletin that this police constable is wanted for an alleged crime. Is this a cover-up?” the source asked.
