A law enforcement officer found himself on the other side of the fence after being accused of sexually abusing his 12-year-old sister in law.
The man who is a member of the Tuschen, Community Policing Group (CPG) has been in police custody since Saturday afternoon at Leonora Police Station. He has not been placed on bail.
Reports reveal that the 12-year-old girl told police that she had sexual intercourse with her brother-in-law on four occasions. Something the man’s wife adamantly refutes.
It was further disclosed that the act occurred earlier in the year. However, one CPG official said that he would not encourage or condone such actions from any member of the Tuschen CPG, and the police would have to deal will all illegal matters accordingly, whether the person is innocent or guilty.
