A 51-year-old Gasparillo man will today appear before a San Fernando Magistrate in Trinidad charged with a series of offences involving a boy on August 22.
The suspect was charged by WPC Romilly of the Southern Division Child Protection Unit (CPU) on November 26th with two counts of sexual penetration, one count of sexual touching, and one count of assault by beating.
The charges arose out of an incident which allegedly occurred on August 22 during which a 13-year-old boy told police that while riding his bike along Bedeau Street, Gasparillo, a man, whom he knows only by face, called out to him and later accompanied him to an abandoned house at the corner of Dalloo Road and Warden Road Gasparillo where the accused physically attacked him.
Following the attack, the boy told police that the man allegedly held him down and performed several sexual acts on him.
A report was subsequently made to the CPU and an investigation led to the arrest and charges being laid against the man.
The investigation was spearheaded by W/Supt (Ag.) Natasha George and ASP (Ag) Sookdeo and supervised by W/Insp (Ag.) Francis.
