Sexual allegations sometimes go untended

Nov 13, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
At present, there is a reported case of alleged sexual abuse committed on a school girl from the community of St. Deny’s, Tapakuma. The horrible act that has been committed on this child should never go unchecked.
Many feel however that the alleged perpetrator may again get off the hook since his relative has ‘strings all over the world’. Residents are of the view that should this matter go unchecked, the results might only lead to further trouble.
There are known instances of alleged misconduct of a similar nature committed by the same resident in the past, but no justice was ever served.
Editor, there is a recent case where a schoolboy was sexually abused and murdered in Berbice. This was all because, although residents reported incidents of assaults, Police were slow to act on the reports.
Residents of St Deny’s are however upbeat and are of the firm view that the reported case will be investigated upon and the necessary action taken by the relevant law enforcement institution(s), to keep the criminal minded at bay, from preying on our school children, our young girls in particular.
Please be assured that the matter above will reach the desk of the President, the Head of the Armed Forces of Guyana, should circumstances occasion this.
With thanks.
