UPP Displeased with Police Response to Rising Sexual Assault Cases

14

REAL NEWS – The United Progressive Party (UPP) is expressing concern about the number of sexual offences being reported – especially those involving children – even as two new complaints have been lodged.

According to reports, the Police are investigating an allegation of indecent assault against an adult female, who complained to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) that a known man had touched her legs inappropriately.

Reportedly, this offence occurred on September 22 at about 3:45 p.m. at Cashew Hill.

It is reported that the victim gave the alleged offender a ride and, while he was in the vehicle, he rubbed her legs without her consent.

Reports claim that officers questioned the alleged offender, but he has denied that the incident occurred.

However, the Police detained him on suspicion of committing an indecent assault.

Meanwhile, after a woman took her seven-year-old granddaughter to the Special Victims Unit (SVU), a case of serious indecency is being investigated.

It is alleged that the child was sexually assaulted by a known man on two occasions: on October 7 and October 10, respectively.

Last Friday, October 13, UPP Chairman D.Gisele Isaac stated that the Party is unhappy with the Police’s response to the growing incidence of rapes.

She said their reaction has been sub-par, at best, and the information being communicated is inadequate for public safety.

Additionally, Franz deFreitas, the Party’s caretaker for St. John’s City South, sees the rising incidence of sexual assaults as an epidemic – and it appears to be one that the Browne Administration does not want to tackle seriously.

  1. Why is BANKRUPT G-R-E-A-T-F-U-L Franz DeFreitas the face of this article??? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

  2. Why would this administration take these assaults seriously,
    When our own pm started dating, seeing, taking out his current wife
    While she was a minor in secondary school. Eh, why?
    My people it’s called grooming!
    And it’s quite prevalent in antigua!
    Look at the age difference of
    the subject in question,
    That says it all…
    Need I say more🤔

  3. I’VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN; THE ABLP WILL ONLY REACT ACCORDINGLY IF IT EFFECTED ANY OF THEIR OWN KITH OR KIN. SIMPLE!

    • Franz is trying to be relevant. G R E A T F U L Franz. What came to mind is the church collection plate in Harlem. Go hide your face Franz. Away from Antigua for over 20 years and now working at Observer for MINIMUM wage. You cannot walk in Hon. Steadroy Benjamin shoes.

      • @ Prim

        Located in Harlem. Good thing the church well-organized so they do AUDITS frequently.

  4. UPP’s CONVICTED PEDOPHILE IAN MAGIC HUGHES should use Crusader Radio to speak out against this type of behaviour. He has the perfect platform and “credibility” to do so!

    “A social inquiry report painted a negative picture of the manner in which Hughes socialises with women. The court was told that the violation had impacted the young victim so severely, SHE WANTED TO END HER LIFE and had engaged in self mutilation.”

    • @ Hmmmmmmmmmm

      OK SATAN AND GASTON (correcting sin) – Gaston’s brother is not a rapist. HE NEVER RAPED a child. Satan please DO NOT STOP CORRECTING SIN.
      The teenage gangs that Lester and his associates had a ‘field day’ with.

      The CHILD that Gaston dated in school who later became a WIFE?
      OH PLEASE SATAN, DO NOT STOP CORRECTING SIN.

      • @lucifer u name really suit you. The PM’s HALF-brother doesn’t get a free pass. He sick and wrong to do that. He is not a figure speaking on behalf of the Labour PArty. Such behaviour was NOT condoned by the PM. He spoke out against it. UPP on the other hand continues to EMPLOY A CONVICTED PEDOPHILE IAN MAGIC HUGES and have him front and center as a spokesperson on UPP CRUSADER RADIO!

        What Franz BANKRUPT DeFreitas have to say about that!!!????

  5. 13-yearold girl
    Hughes, who was 50 years old at the time

    AGE DIFFERENCE OF 37 YEARS! UPP’s Radio Host MAGIC SICK SICK!!!!!

  6. Magic have 2 daughters…..how could he mess with his own daughters classmate??? UPP get Magic Hughes off air

  7. And what about the UPP candidate who allegedly raped his late wife’s niece when she was a teenager?? The police really dragged their feet with that one. The young lady was dragged all over social media when she told her story. The police know of the report yet the man was never charged. The UPP chairperson knows this so does the former leader and other party members
    know but they will not talk of it cause it destroys the images of the UPP members being righteous upright upstanding people. But one day he will be exposed time longer than rope
