MP sexual misconduct probe… Lead investigator, other rank in alleged cover-up transferred

Jan 03, 2020 News

A police corporal who had spearheaded the investigation into the alleged sexual misconduct of an Opposition Member of Parliament, is among two ranks who have now become the subject of an investigation.
Kaieteur News has confirmed that the ranks, who were stationed in Region Nine, were recently transferred to the Tactical Services Unit after being implicated in attempts to suppress evidence.
According to sources, the DPP has recommended charges against the MP for his alleged sexual misconduct with a teenage boy. The two police ranks and others are also likely to face charges.
Crime Chief Michael Kingston said, recently, that Commissioner of Police, Leslie James, has the report.
Police started the investigation last August, after the allegations of sexual impropriety were leveled against the MP. He was detained briefly before being placed on station bail.
But the probe took a disturbing turn, with allegations that some individuals were attempting to suppress evidence.
According to reports, the perpetrator met the teenager at a birthday party that was held for one of the MP’s young relatives.
It was alleged that the MP first made advances toward the teen at the party and later accompanied the teen to a nearby bar, where they were imbibing.
It was during this time that he allegedly made a second proposal to the teen.
In an interview, the accused MP had refuted the allegation, while suggesting that attempts were afoot to tarnish his character.
The man confirmed, nonetheless, that a group of teenagers had attended his relative’s 16th birthday party.
The MP said that he was shocked to learn that there was a social media post, the next day, which implicated him as having indulged in sexual misconduct with one of the teens.
According to the MP, he met the alleged victim for the first time at the birthday party.
He said he later learned that some of the teens bought alcohol at a shop.
