The suspect, who was arrested on July 31 by officials of the Central Division following investigations by the Special Victims Department (SVD), was granted bail in the sum of $750,000 with surety. The matter attracted significant public attention after it was highlighted by the victim’s father two weeks ago on social media. Following investigations, the accused was charged with eight offences under the Children’s Act, Chapter 46:01, as amended by Act No. The investigations were spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Investigations and Intelligence) Natasha George, Assistant Commissioner of Police Richard Smith, Special Victims Department head Superintendent Roger Reyes, and Assistant Superintendent Leith Jones. General supervision was provided by Insp Nina Rawlins of the Special Victims Department, Region II.
