Police have launched an investigation after a seven-year-old girl alleged she was inappropriately touched by a neighbour in a community on the island’s west.
The incident is said to have taken place shortly after 15:00 local time on 10 August, when the child visited the neighbour’s home to fill a bottle with water.
According to officers, the girl told them the neighbour had asked for a hug and, during the embrace, squeezed her bottom.
Police at the Grays Farm station said the suspect, who was present when the child was interviewed, was arrested and taken into custody for questioning.

If this is true this guy deserves the worst. C.mon 7 years old.
A child. Have we lost our sense of restraint and respect
Y’all need to start string up these pos by them balls
This is a sickening and horrific act. What does this child have to offer to this man. What a sick and twisted thing to even bring your self to do.
This is the trend in Antigua.Worthless son of a gun.
Antigua just dutty, and the duttyness is in every strata of society, them that work in a jacket and tie daily ah de worst. Dem even sometimes mek de law and till bruck um. Just hope they have enough to punish this idiot
Antigua need a Dexter atp
Very unfortunate indeed. But there is a lot beneath the surface that needs to be addressed. Society justifies, condones and encourages so many other aspects of immortality that people’s minds are saturated with evil. Even little children are trained to dance in a very sexually explicit way, all in the name of culture.
Everything immoral multiplies during the Carnival Season. More drunkenness, more violence, more unwanted pregnancies, more vulgarity, more violence. And it is all accepted.
THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE It is an epidemic not only in Antigua but in the decadent Western nations.
That is why the authorities need to published the names of all the sexual offenders in the country. We need to know who our neighbors are living next to us and in our communities. I don’t believe it’s the first time this alleged had committed such awful acts against a child. The hand he used to molested the child need to remove from his body.
Maybe the authorities are waiting for the parents to sharpen their cutlasses and take matters in their own hands for their children.
Fortunately the child told someone. All children should be trained to do this. They should be taught that there are body parts nobody is allowed to touch.
I agree with you, Anonymous!
Completely agree with Donna all who are convicted of these acts their names and photos should be published. Go to parliament and make it frigging happen. Put their on a billboard in a prominent location
@ Noticer
You’ve hit the nail right on its head! It’s high time for a serious audit of our societal norms paraded under the banner of “culture”. Our sick society seems in dire need of cleansing – body, mind and soul.
Monsters don’t deserve to walk this earth! You’re telling me a 7 year old? And then they wonder why some people don’t trust or like neighbors. Trying to touch a 7 year old just for some water? KILL HIM
If this indeed the case that person should be arrested. Don’t take those things lightly
So glad Faithful National #1 commented, his body, mind and soul also needs a cleansing especially his mind and soul
