Lawman arrested in alleged child molestation case

The police are now investigating a case of suspicion of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and have arrested one of their own.

The policeman was arrested as investigations into the alleged matter begin.

DNO has been reliably informed that the lawman is presently being held in cells at Police Headquarters in Roseau.

DNO is following this developing story and will provide further information as it becomes available

    Publish his name!! “By their fruits you shall know them.” If he is found guilty by a jury of his peers, he should be sentenced to really hard labor. Send all the convicted rapist to Roseau from sunrise to sunset 7 days a week to clean those dirty drains in town.
    It’s time for the “Chain-Gang.:” They must learn to see and don’t touch innocent children! Time to start making examples of them.

    Being a lawman he should know better instead of protecting he is distroying. I hope he gets what he deserved. I am not surprised they have been doing this for decades.

    When your neighbour house is on fire, wet yours so that the fire don’t spread. That’s the old saying.
    There is so much more to be caught, from those we expect to know better.

    This is very sad indeed. Child molestation is epidemic in Dominica. Time for chemical castration of these scum bags.

    This case will go as far as the case the one with politicians and business man will go. There are many Big men that involved in that kind of abuse so it is not thronged on like it is should be. People being paid to shut up!
    Giving cover for people involved in child abuse is shameful and the Social Services should come out to say some thing on that.

    Children tell a lot of lies, remember that. And also, no man is to be presumed guilty until found so by a court of law. I am sure that the policeman is innocent as no Dominican policeman I know would ever hurt a child.

    • I do not wish to hurt your feelings, but I suspect it is your kind who like to condone evil, which cause Dominica to be in the state it is; corrupted and filled with stench! Here you are calling the supposed victim; a child a liar, when you have not yet heard a single word from the child.

      How stupid are you? There is nothing said which you can base your comments on; you could not wait for the result of the investigation for you to find out truth from fiction, but you brand the child you do not know a liar! For all I know you might be a pedophile also, that is why you are defending one who may be the perpetrator of a sexual offense!

        Francisco,

        Jenny has a point here which should be respected.

        Kindly apologise to her for your rude comment.

    Why arrest someone if u know they will file judicial review isn\’t this a waste of tax payers money to try to prosecute someone for sex with a minor? Way i see we need to stop pretending and close all courts put lawyers out of work and let the country continue running without any law.

    Why a child? He, being a lawman should have known better. Let us see how this plays out in the Court.

    Look they still called him a “Lawman.” He’s more of like LOWMAN to me. :lol:

    I will never get to know who’s the accuser neither who’s the victim. This matter will only disappear into thin air

    • You said it right BEB. As usual the case will become dormant, the same as the case involving the politicians who admitted to even kissing a minor. Remember they were arrested, and I suppose let out on their own recognizance.

      To this day we have not heard anything about any surety posted by anyone, in view of that one can only assume they were set free on their own recognizance; never to be brought to trial, and so they walk the streets of Dominica as if they are invincible.

      God will never have mercy on Dominica. Our actions, and behavior which displease God is a curse on our country, and that is why there is so much suffering in the country. When I grew up as a boy there were no homeless, and hungry people begging, the poor house was empty. The only vagrancy I saw as a boy was a Buffong walking the streets of Roseau with a long dirty masstif-bread in his hand.

      And even at that when the night came he went home to sleep, in a house!

    What. Can I say, under age sex with minors with adult police officers has been going on for a long long time. If found guilty throw the book at him.

      He is being held in other to assist the police with their investigation. He was arrested on suspicion that he had committed the Offence so definitely has not been charged with the Offence yet. In other for him to be house at the prison on remand he has to be charged and taken before a magistrate. This is an Indictable Offence for which he will not be ask to take a plea but will be remanded at the prison at this point because the magistrate does not have the jurisdiction to grant bail in this circumstance. the accused with the assistance of his lawyer can proceed to apply for bail at the high court. if he is successful he will get out of prison and given a date to return to magistrate court for committal hearing. etc etc

    The fox watching the chicken coop, what has become of the country, pretty soon the case will just disappear from the court calendar just like the man kill in Portsmouth while in police custody, welcome to Dominica court of law.
