The Police Corporal who was suspended from duty, following his arrest and charge with kidnapping and having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old female was reported to be back on the job.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 49-year-old\u00a0was reportedly handed the reinstatement letter signed by Acting Commissioner Atlee Rodney yesterday October 23, with orders to a local police station<\/g>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His return to duty came after a controversial end to the pending criminal proceedings, when the minor, now 15-years-old, was reportedly asked\u00a0by a female Crown Counsel to take the witness stand where she was\u00a0prompted to tell a High Court Judge of her desire to drop the case the accused officer.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If tried and convicted, he would have been sentenced to imprisonment for life.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

His new posting was said to be of concern to his new female supervisor, who according to reliable sources, openly objected to his posting. She reportedly said he was not welcome at the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not known how the Acting Commissioner would respond to this development. ANR would continue to monitor the situation.<\/p>
