His bail condition further requires him to seek permission from the court 72 hours in advance, if he is to travel. He has also been ordered not to interfere with any of the witnesses in the case.<\/p>\n<p>The matter has been adjourned to September 20, 2022, for Preliminary Inquiry (PI) to determine if there is enough evidence for it to be tried at the High Court.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with the section 38 of Dominica&#8217;s Sexual Offences Act of 1998, DNO is not at liberty to disclose the name of the accused unless he is convicted at the High Court of Justice for the alleged offense.<\/p>\n<p>The relevant legislation is posted` below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-285027\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sexual-offenses-legislation-642x885.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sexual-offenses-legislation-642x885.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sexual-offenses-legislation-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sexual-offenses-legislation-768x1059.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sexual-offenses-legislation-348x480.jpg 348w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sexual-offenses-legislation.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A police officer, arrested and charged on a complaint of sex-related allegations is now on $30,000.00 bail following his appearance in court.
