A policeman has been arrested for the alleged sexual abuse of a minor, Dominica News Online was reliably informed.
Sources told DNO the officer was arrested at the Melville Hall Airport on Tuesday evening by the Police Task Force.
According to the reports, he was probably in the process of fleeing the island.
Due to the nature of the alleged crime, DNO cannot publish the name of the policeman, even after he is formally charged in court.
DNO is following this story and will publish more information as it becomes available.
This is the second police officer to be arrested in Dominica in a week.
Last Thursday, Alphius Auguiste of Capuchin, was arrested for the alleged theft of bus parts.
He was charged and granted bail on Monday.
Disagree with a lot of comments at the top. Surely it better to believe the victims of abuse then the accused. Such a small percentage of sexual abuse claims are false.
to the person that fail to comply to the law and yet still try to bring down ppl…..u all suck….. i believe the family of the person should sue allu for calling their suriname in allu bull u have no evidence watsoever but yet still dominicans (i am one) calling ppl names…..you don’t knw what happened but u all still speak get correct information before u bray and don’t spread rumors cause i know u all wuldnt like ppl to spread rumors about u all…………
I agree .. …n there should b a way to no who didn’t dat to sue them…DNO need to delete it
what i dont understand how can they give out the name of the police man that was arrested under the theft of bus parts but they cant release the name of the police that did the abuse and stil wouldnt release his name even if he is charged? makes no sense.
Zore pa ca tan the man has not yet been convicted so they cannot release his name
I fail to understand how it is just to not publish the police officers name even after he is formally charged.
https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/crime-court-law/bus-driver-jailed-unlawful-sex-minor/
In the above article, DNO publish the bus drivers name, so why not this police officers name? Is it because he is related to the Prime Minister?
ADMIN: For the last time we are going try to explain this. According to the laws of Dominica the name of a person accused of a sex crime cannot be published until AFTER CONVICTION. The bus driver was CONVICTED in court, hence we can publish his name. The policeman was only CHARGED and has not been CONVICTED. Can’t you understand the difference between CONVICTION and CHARGED? Check your dictionary.
Admin. I understand your frustration. some people just dumb. SMH you will still have to explain it to then again cause their comprehension skills not there at all
But your words are:
Due to the nature of the alleged crime, DNO cannot publish the name of the policeman, even after he is formally charged in court
** EVEN AFTER!!!
Now you are saying after!
My comprehension of the English language is clear. Your interpretation however, is something else.
Formally charged is different from convicted… once again check your dictionary
nabisco beinf chrged is not a conviction its only the offence for which you are accused being brought to the court officially the trial has not even started so pls understand what the law says and respect that ok its time we stop being ignorant learn to respect laws thats all DNO is following the laws of ther land.
they can’t publish the name to much porridge allu drinkin man u can’t understand smh
Y bring the prime minister name in dis????…..
its a real shame on we dominicans in dominica and a broad. they don’t want to publish his name but it should be publish to protect other from the reapers. its a shame on the north of the country the two police officers are from the north or lord help us. this world is really coming to an end. i pray God justice shall be done properly n he shall lose his job. i woulf castrate him and send him stockfarm let them brust his bottom for him.
see what dem ah do,but dem wan fi run dwn weed like ah it dat more bad,i cant believe a man would hane di heart to do dat to a child,every body is at risk rite now even bedridden granny,what di world turning to…….lord help us!!!!
Thus saith the word of Yahweh, Elohim of Israel; LET EVERY MAN HAVE HIS OWN WIFE AND EVERY WOMAN HER OWN HUSBAND. In this simple commandment is the solution to all these problems. Then it is written also “Cursed be any man who walk not according to this book (The book of Yahweh’s Word commonly called “The Bible”). So the world and our country hate Yahweh and his Word so Satan suggests all kinds of evil to them which they happily embrace. Parents, teach your children the Word of Yahweh and teach them to use the commandments of Yahweh to correct wrong. AGAIN LET EVERY MAN HAVE HIS OWN WIFE AND EVERY WOMAN HER OWN HUSBAND – And so every evil sexual practice is put away forever.
Hey ppl it’s about time we realize that jesus is indeed coming back, whether you all believe it or not
It is not Jesus coming back friend. The arm of Yahweh’s Salvation is Yahshua. He is coming back to fulfill this part of the prayer that he taught his people “Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
They need to create a list of all child molesters in DA and put it on a website. And then put their picture up in the community they live to warn people. Perverts! Pedophiles!
I can promise the people of the Commonwealth of Dominica that they will be seeing alot more arrest of Police Officers in the months to come.
There is a particular officer who uses all the teenage girls in his village, he actually got one pregnant and cannot even register the child on his name.
There is another one who has illegal firearms holding at his home.
The commission must use all the tools and all the information he as to clean u[p on these rogue cops.
We also recently pulled some information on the Botanical Gardens shooting, i am asking the commissioner to reopen the investigations and take in the police officer name that being mentioned. he was positively identified. The commissioner should also get his lime and digi phone print out because his phone records saying a different thing that what he is saying.
It is time we crack down on these people that destroying other people life instead or protecting and serving.
If u know of a Police officer having sex with under age girls u have a responsibility to report. It makes no sense hinting on DNO. since u expect he will eventually be arrested I am assuming these are under age girls. Report him!
do you think that you helping the situation by posting this on DNO the bad cop reads DNO too you fool. send in an anonymous letter to the COP with the information you have and stop alerting wrong doers cause they also read DNO . I cannot believe how foolish some of you are.REALLY?
i think the important issue here is the safety of the child and that is paramount. we should be looking at ways to support her ie counselling working with her to ensure that she is strong enough to face societ.Never mind the officer and releasing names what good is that to anyone or should we say that people like pointing fingers it is not about that it is about a crime being commited and that the person is brought to justice and that the child receives protection and professional support.
Please do not on any occasion say that children is lyin or that the act did not take place why was he fleein the b……d
all u blaming de government like skerrit tell de man to go and abuse de child
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
A child was raped and you’re whining about people blaming the government?
Read Dr. King’s words carefully. They apply to you more than you realize.
A few thoughts:
1)To the true protectors of Dominica (the cops that actually do the job they’re paid to do without indulging in baby sex), thank you for having the courage to make a stand against criminals with power. I don’t imagine your job is easy. Thank you.
2)Whoever wrote the law that doesn’t allow child rapist’s names to be published was probably a child rapist himself. What other excuse could be made?
3)DOMINICAN CITIZENS: Don’t wait for the law to be changed! The internet is a powerful tool that allows for anonymous information to be shared throughout the island.
It’s only a matter of hours before neighbors/relatives/etc of the criminal become aware of his deeds and the news spreads like a wildfire. Put this info on a message board with anonymous profiles. Copy his picture off of his facebook account (I’m sure he won’t mind, it’s not like he’s using it anymore) and post it with his info.
4)To anyone who reads this that questions the child’s actions in this manner: Congratulations, you are officially a clown and a manchild.
There is nothing to rejoice about it is sad for all of us,it is our people and our country.The only person who has the right to judge us and punish us is the CHRIST.
with Sex abuse there are plenty thin lines.The way you phrase the abuse the girl should be in hospital taking test but is she though?
Yes Fada, they truly letting us down in Dominica. Men of the law, pls uphold the law. Y’all are fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, husbands, leaders…RESPECT THE YOUNGER ONES N KEEP THEM SAFE! Do not destroy them
educated you are more educated than some of us in dominica. i would like you to explain to us uneducated people how holding back the name of a child molester protects that child?i understand not publishing the child’s name
Just Blaize
Blame the victim.your dam fool I hope u have girls :
This is another disappointment for Dominicans, in one week, two police officers arrested for crimes. It is an embarrassment to the Police Force. Pertaining to this one involved with a minor, surely he should have known better. I would think in this era that Laws are stricter than in previous years that this policeman would do something like that and not expect that he would be reported.
Attempting to flee the country? If he has a few years service, how far did he expect to go and for how long?
I feel sorry for them that they found themselves in this situation. It entails loss of job, years of service and salary in addition to being embarrassed for these crimes. I would not want to be in their position. I hope this will be a lesson for all policemen, present and future. .
now is police time some of them to wicked
If he is found guilty make sure he gets the maximum sentence.
More like you need to speak up brother
Men please get adults your age who can challenge you, did you not realize you were doing something wrong? what was this child really offering you? To all those who are in his defense please do not let your own child loose in his presence. Deep down inside you all know he did it. Why was he running away in the spur of the moment?
Remember kids don’t just lie about being touched inappropriately, they would have to experience this to be vocal about it.
I was molested by an adult male during my school days, bad experience and it was my word against his. I say loose the key on him. He did something wrong, plus he is a public figure who is there to ensure all uphold the law.
Sick man, find a woman your age Sir
lol… ebeh u doh easy u that police there.. police getting busted.. so will politicians,.
i like your name up dere.. nice one
u just as dump as that person bias dominicans
u went against the law u should be arrested.
U should get arrested
dump idea I wish I knew who u are
The way to illuminate a problem is start from the source. A woman does not want to see a man in daylight why do you go with him in the night.some man are weak and fall into the trap.Poor men. A women get pregnant for a man and another man has to bring the child up,all confusion from start.Planing,assembly and labor.The women need to educated in sex education because the weak men are paying for their mistakes
That is not good
He really thought they would never catch him.. All dog have their day.. God don’t sleep.. Coshooniii
Don’t put gods name in allu business ,he never wishes bad for anyone nor praises any wrong doings.Who laugh last laugh the best and this too shall pass…Dominicans to stupid and bias.
An for persons who should uphold da law dey a da ones breakin it.dey sho ge castrated
Dats jus nonsense dat police need to be reveal.
Glad this is getting sorted out, it’s the wave of change that’s needed. People need to be held responsible for their actions and the damage that is caused that their victims have to live with forever..
There are other matters that also need sorting, including animal cruelty and those who tie their dogs 24/7 should be next!
And they make how much protest for tommy lee …. while so much child sexual abuse happening in this country … smh
It is really hard to please Dominicans. You all are ready to condemn the police officer but when it was the priest you wanted to crucify the alleged victim. You said why is the priest name exposed and not the victim. What do we really want in this messed up society. You are saying people know about these crimes going on for years but the adults not saying anything, now when an adult speaks out she is more wrong. Then more than one person comes out and exposes the priest and Dominicans more vex. When thing is for sure…our laws must change because it is the same law that preventing the police from getting involved in the catholic priest case. By the way, what is the latest on that nuh?
Hmn papamet so the police force come there.u mean to tell me mr carborn that is the type of police men u have serving the people of dominica. My god!! Its a shame!!!! First I hearing police take bike mone bruce. Then I hearing police voleh parts on bus.

Look I hearing there again that a special constable of the comonwealth of dominica police force again interfering wit his step daughter wow!!!! Wat is dat!!!. Thanks god for mat in the morning because kairi fm and dbs wud not keep us informed of the lawlessness that going on in this country
DNO if it was someone caught with drugs before and after being charged their photos would be on the head lines but wen is your all child molester Friend you keep his identity conceal. Shame on DNO . And in DOMINICA there should be a new law making sure that sex affenders should be placed in the data base .
Admin: Your allegations are unfounded. The law does not allow the media to release the name of the accused in a sexual offense. The name can only be released once he is convicted. For this to change the law itself would need to be changed.
DNO will you plesse stop explaining this we get it those fools that are still stressing you are not ready to learn so they can stop coming on the site we wont miss them.
Section 38 of the Sexual Offences Act # 1 of 1998 makes provision for the anonymity of the complainant and the accused person. The Section of the Act is so crafted to prevent the identity of the complainant from being known by the public. The identity of the accused can only be published after he has been convicted. Do not forget the principle in law that an accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a competent court. If the name of the accused is published before he is convicted, he can use that to have his case dismissed.
The law has been doubled for underage and is Police that committing the crime….Those you really have the determination and desire of taking police work seriously are the ones who don’t make it at times despite their good qualification,and others get the job just for job sake…..
but wait is no de police that have to stop crime and they that doing de most. Boy dominica really back to front
Sad sad sad…but it is encouraging to know and see that the CDPF has finally grown the balls needed to bring its own to account. It is absolutely no secret that the CDPF is pregnant with issues and in particular a number of corrupt criminals hiding behind the badge. There are a number of issues plaguing the CDPF and the current chief seems intent on bringing those found wanting to account. However, this is just a patch on the BIGGER BOEBOE!
Sad as it may sound, one cannot deny that a number of officers recruited over the past 10 years did NOT meet the requirements but were still recruited because of political affiliations….YES I SAID IT. Just recently we had crazy people and convicted drug dealers on training only to release them after they took the sacred oath of office. Politicians need to STOP calling the Chief and directing him on whom should be taken within the ranks. The police force is / used to be a disciplined organization but now it has been reduced to a gang-like organization similar to that of a political militia.
The clean-up task that lay ahead for the police force is daunting but not impossible to achieve. However, it must be pursued relentlessly for our very future and safety depends in part on those in uniform. As one in the know (or so I think), below are some critical steps that should be taken ASAP to clean the force and bring it back to its glory days where respect was earned and given simply because one wore the badge;
1. Move the police force from under the oversight of the PM to the office of the president (Charlo will soon go and it will work)
2. Re-do the command structure of the force to include a command council with all some past commissioners and deputies serving as advisors to the chief (Like a board of directors or statutory board)
3. Review and rework our selection process for recruits.
4. Make it illegal for ministers and parl. reps to get “involved” in the recruiting process
5. Terminate all those who cannot pass a lie detector test after the second try (too many of them still working after failing their polygraph)
6. Restructure the Administrative Section (upstairs).
7. Make it illegal for senior officers (Insp. and above- Gabadine Gang) to be messing around with junior women officers
8. Have a commission of inquiry and implement ALL other recommendations made. This commission should include both foreign and local senior (old school) officers and not just some political appointees
9. Fire ALL the current members of the Police Service Commission and start fresh. Too much nepotism, political biasness and appointments ruining the current force.
10. Investigate the so called “major” drug dealers within the ranks and fire them if the evidence points to wrong doing. We all know who they are and so I believe the chief know exactly who we talking about.
11. Promote those who deserve it not those who pay for it (in one way or another). Too many officers have gotten higher education on their own and are still stuck as constable or corporals because others are intimidated by their education.
While I am no expert, I believe some of the thoughts expressed here will help in the long term. But be reminded that Change Must Come and I wait anxiously for such change.
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
yes you said it and said it well. True true and very true. Too much political interference withing the police force.
Your thoughts are a one-man show and ideas. They are not recommended and will serve no useful purpose.
Part One: Hi Shameless, I’ve read your commentary on the issue and the CDPF and you have alluded to being someone who knows (i.e.: an insider I assumed). I would like to respond to your commentary if I may, but I must do so in two parts (1&2) because I would not like to give DNO any reason to not publish/post my submissions. May I remind you that the issue in the CDPF is nothing new as those were issues when the Force was RDFP and prior? Police officers (both seniors and juniors) have been screwing around with female officers in the force from time immoral and some of those officers even fathered children together. That is nothing new and it still continues where you have now non-commission officers (women) fooling around with the young recruits in the force (some are now ex-officers) and some will soon. What a shame I must add! Therefore, your claims of pregnancy within the CDPF are indeed true and are a fact. One of the things that is lacking not only in the CDFP, but the entire civil and public sector in Dominica is the lack of proper or updated employment laws. We need a “sexual harassment” element added to the employment laws in Dominica that will forbid or provide redress for inappropriate behavior in the workplace. The law should apply across the board to both (men and women) and supervisors as well as subordinates (any kind) of inappropriate behaviors in the workplace should be against the law. In my opinion, it is about time for Dominica to step up to the game and catch up with the changing of times. You have implied that the current Commissioner appears to be cleaning up the Force but I would argue, is arresting and charging policemen for thief of bus or vehicle parts and abuse all? There are a lot more serious infractions within the CDPF to include the high ranking officers as well and that must be given top priority if we are serious about cleaning up the Force.
Secondly, I share your sentiments that quite a number of citizens have been denied and some have been recruited into the CDPF who were not qualified or have met the minimal requirements and that politics played apart. However, this is not new as it has been happening for decades and will continue. Truth is, that have happened under all political parties in the country to include: DFP, UWP and DLP, so I will not agree with you in the shifting of all the blame on the DLP by limiting your accusations to just the past 10-years because that is just not accurate at all. Let’s be fair when we are making our commentary regardless to political persuasions the facts are the facts so we must report them as such. From a professional standpoint, I’ve seen a lot of injustices done in the CID of the CDPF particularly when they are making recommendations for people to be appointed into the civil service. One particular senior officer comes to mind and he will live with his actions on his conscience and answer to God for his wrong deeds.
I have read all the commentaries of others and I do not share the view that the recruitment process though, with its flaws is solely to be blamed for officer’s actions. In all organization (military, semi-military) which the CDPF is, you will find discipline issues from time to time because you are dealing with human-beings. I don’t think the CDPF should be a political militia but the reality is it may very well be because we do not have a standalone military to protect our borders so the CDPF has taken on those roles as well so anything is possible – it is what it is. Should Dominica consider having a military is something for Parliament and the people of the Commonwealth to reexamine? Is it necessary for Dominica I have my professional views on that but that is for another day when the issue/debate arises. We may want to have a discussion on that very issue soon.
first person i would punish is the parent .Sending the child all over the place with the man what you expect to happen .That 13 year old child parents should be in jail all now because they were fully aware.
I do not know the circumstances surrounding this case but in many cases the parents (or the mother) know what is going on. It’s a sad day when a mother or parent believes that prostituting or allowing a child to be abused is the only way to put food on the table.
In a lot of these cases there are several other children at home to feed. This is one of the cycles of life. It is always the families or women who cannot afford to take care of multiple kids who keep bearing babies.
your point makes alot of sense but it is not the case in this 12 or 13 year old child. money is definitely not the issue. Her mother is a nurse and her father holds a very big position in government. I believe that this is more the reason they are no saying who or exactly what happened.
that’s right they gave consent…parents can do that
Thank you…they should b arrested too..
Please quote the section of the Law that says the officer’s name cannot be published. It is not in the best interest of the child to with hold his name…really? I mean how does pointing out the low down, depraved so and so automatically sheds light on the child? He has been arrested and taken before the courts that means there’s sufficient proof that he has committed the act. Shame him that way any other means of escape he tries to use his face will be familiar to the public. For once let them go into hiding when they commit these heinous acts. Cause they still walk around in public feeling justified. Awww man, don’t even get me started!!!
Canada does it. They learned from those countries as also the U.S. They claim it is to protect the identity of the victim who is a minor.
Make up your mind. We will not know his name. His police confreres will obviously know for he is one of them. They will probably be informed, under strict orders and obedience, not to divulge his name.
Understand the law and the reason for it.
This is only the beginning and lots more to come.come on mothers be a mother and not an accomplice give them up
Dominica has a lot of ignorant people. Wish they would educate themselves before running their mouth. The identity of the people involved cannot be revealed to protect the minor involve. That is the law every where. Learn to read the laws before all you go running all you mouth. Smh
ok for the minor yes but y not say the police mans name
Thats actually completely incorrect. In America, which is a part of everywhere, they release the names of those who are suspected and convicted. They do not release the name of the minor.
I would assume in a small nation where people woudl probably know this Police comings and goings, naming the Police may be as good as naming the child??
u cant compare America and dominica its two different countries….
These ploice officers have been doing this to children for the longest and people afraid to talk. I recalled a officer was messing with a fifteen years girl when people questioned him he said little axe cut big wood. I wish chld molestation was active in those days alot of the older police officers would take years behind bars. Please don’t be easy on these bastards they are there to protect not to take advantage of inocent children.
IF u dontknow whats going on do not speak ok…..ther peron i know him to be would never get involved knowingly with an underaged girl…he a good officer but dominicans will never see the good
never say never
Anonymous, for your information, it’s the good persons all around us that commit to having sex with children. You would be amazed if you knew who is doing it. I am a victim, so I know.
lock back and come back on that one.. he was feeding you man? nonsense you talking!!!
Are you stupid or what? He did the crime and should pay big time. Stop being a soutiweh…maybe he paying you
excuse me the last time i check he was not God
He has to plead his case in Court. You said ‘knowingly’. This means he did not know the age of this minor.
You just shut up. How couldn’t he know she was under age? Really? Give me a break. That is ur best defense
but he did!!!!!!he did. and how could he not know she was under age?if you see the child you will DEFINITELY know she is less than 16.yes i know the people involved.
p.s what good is there to see here?
oh yes he is a very very good officer,it’s just sad to hear about wat happened.
Only police officers? You are generalizing and discriminating against them all. They were/are not the only men in Dominica, old or younger.
Another special constable was arrested on monday for sexually assaulting his eight year old stepdaughter.
You read what DNO stated about not releasing information because a minor is involved. Why did you think you had to write this? Why did DNO allow it?
Its one thing if they said the police officer abused his own child. But this isn’t the case. Why is his identity hidden? The child’s name nor school or age is being mentioned.
how can the child name be mention if is your child would u like her our his name on be on the nedia , the police officer name should be out already
are you stupid? have u any brain? did u go to school? can u even read? its a minor and her identity needs to be protected.
The reason is, if they are closely affiliated in whatever manner, their names will not be publicized.
Please Please Please lets start a movement to have the laws of the land ammended so that we can name them and shame them……have there names and faces registered on a sex offenders register that can be accessed by the public……we ought not provide that level of protection for the offenders, the low down dirty shameless rapists who prey on the innocent……we should aim to protect the public and protect another innocent child from becoming a victim.
so u find u making sense? some of us just love tanishing ppl name….. d person that doing prayers going to deal with them
As the saying, “Curiosity killed the cat. Satisfaction brought it back.” You are too curious, as everyone else.
This time the names will not be released. Get used to it. 
Buddy that’s sad and shame on u after 20 plus yrs u are not even just an officer u have strips man,let’s hope the kid lied because I still can’t believe this.
There you go, giving information away when you were not supposed to do that. I suppose you could not help yourself to avoid it.
well you can hold on to hope but the picture is very clear.if the man was innocent why was he fleeing the island?he knew exactly what he had done.he was very well aware of his crime.dirty filthy pig of a man.these type of men should be castrated.CHILDREN ARE OFF LIMITS!
A Magway Sa…..
His name cannot be published.not ever, for rapeing the person child.So he can just walk to the other family and rape their child to any..dominica need to wake up.
Smh
That’s how it is all over as long as the child is under age his name cannot be publish to protect the child identity. He don’t have to worry he’ll be picking up plenty soap at Stock Farm Prison…..
With all due respect, Anonymous, that is not correct; the name of the perpetrator is usually released, but never the name of the victim.
Lets all hope that this was a fabrication and the child was not robbed of her innocence. Heaven help us.
Rape what?????….if d parents knew n didn’t cum out why everyone else care abt dis child havin sex with a man…the parents clearly didn’t care
I know a certain police officer who was denied a few times because of no subjects….she went to her Pal rep and just because she is a supporter of the Government they had to take her back.
Only in DA
your comment does not make sense, are u saying that she did not have the academic qualifications?
How does this statement deal with a child molested by an Officer? Do you really have sense or good head? Stick to the subject matter please
DNO. Hiding this officer is like asking mothers to hide there children abusers. No predators though matter who they are should be hidden from the public.We all needs to know and protected from.
against the law to publish the name until he is convicted…
For u to tell me the amount of hard back woman and spanish it haveout dr for u to tell me a big man like u to be interfering with a 9 year old and even giving the child sifilyst is. A shame.u would rott in jail
you cannot read
you have the wrong news lol
What? You are letting the cat out of the bag. You really do not know the Law. Is the public not aware of it that if a minor is involved, the names will not be revealed? This means, you should not make the relevant information about this case known and on a Website for all to read. The police authorities should inform nationals about this Law.
DNO,
I am a bit confused. There are various forms of abuse which is punishable by law. I dont think that stating the type of abuse committed would jepordize the case.
allu will hear about him! then people wonder why people to others evil! so pissed i cant even comment
well, when u playing shatta cop, u will fall. he so like to threaten and beat people, maybe somebody spoil him.
beat the person poor child during carnival for no reason ,
is not u alone that can spoil ppl…we all can do just the same wait and see ha ha ha
Clearly u from VC ..u sound like a damn fool …
So now you all are hiding a pervert,and allow him to continue to prey on other young ones. I say put his face, name and address all over the papers so we can see and know who he is. We need some real street justice on him that loser.
exactly
People as you do not understand the reasoning behind it. Who said after being arrested and charged he will go after other children? If he does he will be in deeper trouble. Do you not think that the authorities will warn him about that? Therefore, get your mind off this.
That comment is so true, not everything is political but i can give you a person experience which was, i was called in for Police interview couple years back, you know what the interogation officer told me, i’m a perfect for the job but just do one thing check with my PARL REP for endorsement and i’ll surely get it. I told the officer i thought once you meet all the requirement you can get in, He told me Well young star that’s how it is now, not me that making the rules……. So telll me if police force recruits can be legit, there’s much more to come…….
I can understand why the abused person’s name cannot be revealed but why can’t the name of the abuser be made public? Admin could you explain that to me please
ok the(actor) the abuser in this case has rights, he is not innocent until proven guilty, also the alleged victim has a right to privacy until the case is heard and then as a result when the actor is prosecuted and the verdict guilty or not is publish then all will know. However in Dominica our community is very small and the alleged actor based on the story is known by all, Publishing his name right now can undermine the case and favoring the defendant therefore, until all the investigating is done and the case is solid where we can get a guilty verdict let’s let the law person do their job. The name will be out trust me.
correction he is innocent until proven guilty*
Dominica has a serious problem with bus drivers and police officers having relationship with minors. All dominicans knows that. it is sad 95% of parents know that. I remember telling an uncle of a school child about seeing his niece frequenting a young mans house. His answered “her mother knows about it if she is allowing it who am I”.
It is decades now that this thing is happening with police officers sexually involved with school girls. The fact is many believe that out of fear the girls will not talk and generally this works so these officers continue to deflower and preuy on young school children. If a thorough investigation is conducted i am certain that between 20-15% of officers are or have had some kind of sexual relations with a young girl under the age of 16. Believe you me it’s that bad!!!
Bonjaiii Dominicans like beffff .. Ah tonneh malehdisyon! Allu cannnot understand its a case with with a minor… Wat if it happened to ur child? Allu must think first.. And I’m very sorry to who ever that happened to … As for the police officer (which is my cousin) I’m disappointed in you.. Hope u face the time.. can’t put hands in fire for u. I too was abused.
Radio bush will make us know who is the wicked police.
The name is out already, please. He is in the force for over 20 years. What a waste of his youth, now he must be fired with no gratuity and no descent future. Exactly what the child is facing a rough future
well tell us the name LOL or where he from EAST,WEST,NORTH OR SOUTH of the island
Foe decades we have tolerated abuse from the Police where most of the incidents were not even reported. Now it’s good to see the Jaws of Justice is prevailing in favor of the abused.
What kind of law protects the name of a sex offender even after he is formally charged??
The Dominican and British Law! We are independent but still not independent
Why would you not publish his name after he’s formally charged??? He’s not a minor??
correction he is innocent until proven guilty*
Because is a police name cannot be revealed if it was another man on the streets u will see how fast his name would be up, some policemen are not policemen they juss in it for the money an to say they working, smh
This is not true. Times have changed and so is this Law involving minors. Surely you should know if a minor is involved as in this case, the name of the minor and the name of the adult who is accused will not be publicized. It is for the protection of the minor and her family.
What is more, consider this, although it is not mainly for his protection, someone or some people may attack the accused.
I’m disappointed that the law of Dominica protects perpetrators. No wonder they continue in their sick acts.
you have to protect the child too fool.
Withholding the perpetrators name is protecting the child in what way fool? The public needs to know who the person is so that they can protect their children from him. You think if it was my child he would be in police hands? No. I would have dealt with him and ghen I would be in police hands. Nonsense.
This is ridiculous. It is obvious that those who gave you thumbs up, none of them know the Law pertaining to when minors are involved in a case such as this. You need to learn your Laws. The authorities should acquaint people as you with this Law.
If there is a law which gives the right to with hold a name due to the magnitude of the crime ,,,,as far as a police officer is concerned ,a normal role model ,well this law should be banned,,,,he was willing to become a police officer to arrest criminals in order to jail them ,he was about to leave the island to avoid jail time…well what is good for the goose is good for the gander…the streets can never be clean if the police force is not clean,,,criminals should not guard criminals…do some heavy duty laungry in our dominica police force….
As frustrating as this is, the law is there to protect
The minor child.if his name were revealed then we
Would know who the child is.
No child deserves this.
Let the law deal with him.
Puttin out the police name everyone is goin to know the child..fools
The bible says what ever is happening now, has happened before. interested comment. When we see this we must pray, and as they are telling us in the BVI let us all be our local police men and women. Be the mothers and dad to raise this children of the land. every village and our communities let correct the wrong when we pass by. and do it in love. choose kind words to send the message. talk ,talk do not help. As for that police he must humble himself and beg God for giveness and work hard to help the family bring back their daughter pride and love. He hurt himself, he disrespect God, the police force, his class mate, fam, the child , her fam, the world ect… . He need God. This story is big, as young people some of us have our politics about the police and it will just add more fear. do we trust them. …. After all let us pray and ask God to help our Dominica. God bless Dominica amen
But I thought all the cops were protecting each other?
two points:
1) Two cops in such a short time. That is outrageous and looks bad for my country that all angles are turning to crime.
2) I am not condoning violence but until the full story of what the minor did i would rather not pass blame. Some of these kids today commit certain acts without fear of being put in jail since we have no Juvenile centers. The full story is needed.
You must be a damn child molester yourself, you idiot. What kind of animal, even though a CHILD comes on to them, do these things. People like all you need to be eradicated. I am hoping you have no kids.
Are you sure you understood the story line or you just felt like being part of this conversation. Read over least you e embarrassed please.
Arab, you for real. Now you see what you wrote in print, in your face surely you must want to re-think your point 2)!!! You yourself said it, the ‘minor’, once you hear that is a fact there is no explanation needed. Unless, as one of the other comments said, “YOU MUST BE A DAMN CHILD MOLESTER YOURSELF”! Takes one to know one!
We counting and going up. TWO GONE, NEXT !!
Its about time arrest were made where its needed. Dominican law enforcers must uphold the law at all times, especially when its one of their own involved. This will help to bring back a little trust in the law. We need to bring more abusers to court, especially those who hold high office.
DNO, I think that something is missing, “even after he is formally charged in court” his name and identity cannot be publish? Come better than that. We the public would like to know who is the perpetrator .
he is just a nother man. No need to say more.
Thats the crap and rotten eggs you get when politician and political influence determines who is hired in an organization that has to enforce law and order. Am wondering if no law, no constitution is having its influence in the Police Service
DNO even doh you don’t publish the name it is already out, Dominica you talking about wi, police officers self had the name out on the streets (that one tell that one and so on) so please give me a break.
Man I can’t find one good reason y the police name cannot be reveal and due to the nature of the offense that is the best time to post his name and pic so ppl can no who the monster walking in their village to be aware of the man cha ma Dominica self en
I don’t understand why the officer’s name cannot be published if and when he is eventually charged. Is it because he is a police officer? I was under the impression that once a citizen is charged then his personal information becomes public record.
DNO, Please enlighten me in that regards. I humbly request.
Thanks
I can answer that for you. To protect the identity of
The child.
This week is police week
The police need to step up their game starting with recruitment. In a small society such as Dominica it should not be difficult to conduct a proper background check and screening. In the more developed countries, here are some of the measure undertaken, which should not be too difficult for the police to undertake, if they are serious about integrity.
The preliminary investigation will cover your education, residential history, employment, driving record, credit standing, and any arrests or encounters with the police you may have had. They will not only look at the various places that you’ve lived, but they will talk with landlords, roommates, and even your parents to see if you were a responsible resident.
The background investigator will then move on to even more personal issues, and will likely interview your family, your neighbors, your references and your friends.
You will also be fingerprinted, possibly drug tested, and you may be asked to take a polygraph examination.
These are all within the realms of what the police can do, even if all these are not implemented in great detail. Wake up Police Commissioner. Step up your game
Police Week 2014
there needs to be a recruitment freeze. Something is wrong in the hiring process.
it has nothing to hiring. I personally know a police who was abusing a minor back 15 or more years ago. to make it worst that minor was his sister.
there are just some bad people in all walks of life; some go about as the best in society and the skeletons in their closet are the darkest
So what did you do to bring this out in the open?
To much politics in the force. We need a makeover and the good officers to run the force not the politians.
Ask those politicians to STAY the HELL AWAY from the recruiting process and the force will be back in due course. They have their hands in recruiting, promotion, transfers, training courses etc. But Change will come soon.
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
lol, well look it,doe paw 2,iz a vbz, these things have been happening all the time, is jus that now we hearing about them,what can i say,we are all humans,ppl live with err,so i guess life must go on
These so called cops doin worst dan dem citizens dey sending stock farm
Quite a few of these young men and women that are recruited right from leaving high school are hardly mature enough to hold the positions that they are given far less to be role models so therefore they act like any child would act in a place of power and do what they want until corrected. I think better evaluations need to be made before issuing the safety of a society into the hands of these power hungry, naive children.
There is no need to discriminate against all of them because of the action of one. Every country in the world recruits young men/women for police work. If they are recruited at an older age, even in their 30’s, they may not qualify or may not be able to undergo the rigid police training or may not be able to pass it.
The best time to commence this career as any other career is when young after completing high school or college. If not in Dominica, many have done that and succeeded and some are now retired. Some people have three generations of police in their family.
That is why we need someone other than a guard to guard the guards. Good job by the police. This action must go for every one including people in so called high places.
First things first our country needs to stop protecting individuals who commit crimes and look to protect the public. I understand that due to the nature of the alleged incident (yet undisclosed) DNO chooses to not publish the name of the officer but once found guilty the information should be made public so our people can better prevent a repeat of that incident

who appointed you an authority on the matter?!! ask questions and use logic before thinking only with emotions. Its against the LAW to publish his name until convicted its different for accused sex offenders than for other offences. The law is in place to protect the child’s identity as well…
Why a little child why¿
satan what D child do you?
Thank God for exposing the wrongs of those in authority.This year a lot of prophesies will be fulfilled.Get your lives in order with God so that you will not be an instrument in the devilish hand.Do not become his victim.He’ll is real people!””
Man in Dominica too like to run down little children. So much grown woman it have that sad and depressed because they cannot get a man and all you still after little children. Grow up people.
Watch all you daughters close to as a lot of young school girls dominica nasty and like to pursue men twice their age. Shame.
What is the process in Dominica to be a police officer? It seems as though any and everyone wearing that uniform. Where I am you have to go through how much interview, how much test evaluations. not saying it still don’t have bad officers ..but maybe that will help us to eliminate alot of these thieves that really don’t have much use in the force.
They are human. What makes you think after being accepted, they do not commit crimes? Well, the country I reside in, some do and in a big way.
When suspected, they are sent on leave with or without pay. Based on the infraction, they may be given only a desk job until the case is called.
When caught arrested, charged, if guilty and sentenced, some are imprisoned. They are stripped of their police status. It is goodbye to the police force.
If not guilty, they are reinstated and reimbursed salary if their leave was without pay.
slowly but surely
I am so dissapointed in these police officers but it shows that the system is working.
hunter said in one of his calypso,some police officers needs to be wipe out and investigated,while on the other hand check-o said some police in de force teething hmmmmmmmmmm this two police officers knows just wat they talking about
“This is the second police officer to be arrested in Dominica in a week.”
In a way, this arrest confirms what the police tob brass have often said, that the Force continues to monitor the activities and conduct of its members. The process works. Good job for nabbing him before he left!
Dont come with that crap DNO. Cannot name the officer due to the nature of the crime even after was formally charged?
Once he is formally charged that becomes public record.We need to stop protecting people that do crimes like this. the victim name is withheld cause that’s a minor. i get that. But don’t tell me that someone that suppose to be enforcing the law doing the crime and due to the nature of the crime his identity id protected.
ADMIN: Don’t blame us. Blame the lawmakers. We are just following the law.
it involves a minor so we have to protect our children. get informed…
the officer name can b called and the minor name can b kept private. get informed? u need to use common sense.
the police dat go and voleh y allu doe hide his identity…dat is jus pure biasness
Because neither he, nor his girlfriend is a minor.
Why don’t you all educate all you self..cha man!
to admin: such poor writing. “as it becomes of available”? huh? of available?
“According to the reports he was probably in the process of fleeing the island.”
why not say this? – according to reports he appeared to have been attempting to flee the island.
who wrote that nuh? where is the editor? allu must hire me man
Seem like you are the one in need of an elementary school basic writing class.” according to the
reports 
he appeared to have been attempting to flee the island” huh.
As an elementary school graduate I would have written- ” according to the report he may have been absconding.”
Which Law!!!
I can understand that the name of the VICTIM be not published, but to hid the name of the POLICE officer is crazy. Just recently two police sergeants,one male & one female along with the female’s daughter were arrested on St. Croix and all three names along with their photos were on the St Croix. Yesterday five prison guards were arrested in the Atlanta area and all five along with their names and photos were published. I know that we all can, and do make mistakes, but when caught we must dance to the music and be prepared for the scorn we will receive from the general public.
its against Dominican law to publish the name of the accused it can only be published once convicted…
@ Admin.
Admin, all you following the law eh!!! All you know when to follow the law when it suits all you!!
Idiot, the matter is of a sexual nature involving a minor. No names are allowed to be published.
You will help Admin pay the possible law suit by being too negligent. Have a little patience
I guess that’s Dominica law
But all beffy we D.N.O don’t need to tell all who the name.is.just listen to “radio neg’ as usual for all all info.
but why the hell the detail of the crime is not given.
We are all humans and will err, but my God, some of us who hold certain offices should think before act. When we have the police committing all these crimes, it begs the question, “Who can we trust”?
This news article does not say what type of abuse, but abuse whether physical, sexual or otherwise and in particular on a minor leaves much to be desired and could leave long-term devastating effects on this child.
I pray that we all take some retrospect on our lives, our attitudes, our behaviors and make a positive change which will lead to a better tomorrow for us all, particularly tomorrow’s children.
This is what happens when a police force is controlled and operated by politicians instead of by professionally trained l law enforcement commanders. Stay tune for more………………..
Stupes no sense every thing is politics smfh
you are such an!!! what does that have to do with politicians!! damn idiot!!
You people not tired of your political framing stupidness? Stupes. Allu sick man!
no sense, where do you idiots come out
hmmm! They on a role!!
*roll
what is wrong with those police officers, they are suppose to be the role models.
same to for our elected leaders…boy look hypocrisy in this country…-my name-!!
