Cops accused of raping detained 12-year-old in police station

Jan 09, 2012 News

Two Police Constables from the Port Kaituma Police Station are under close arrest for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl while she was in custody.
The incident reportedly occurred late in December 2011
Kaieteur News understands that the child was arrested for simple larceny and was reportedly placed in a cell.
The girl alleged that while she was in custody, two of the police ranks had sexual intercourse with her against her will.
After she was released on station bail, the girl confided in an aunt and a cousin. They brought the alleged victim back to the police station where she gave a statement to a senior rank.  A source said that she also identified one of the alleged culprits, whom she had known when he was posted at another location.
A medical examination revealed that the girl was sexually active.
Kaieteur News was told that the policemen were subsequently placed under close arrest and the one the girl had identified and escorted to Georgetown for further questioning.
It is unclear whether the matter has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
