Police investigating
case of sexual abuse
ST. EUSTATIUS--A detective from the Technical Department of the Windward Island Police Force in St. Maarten arrived on Statia Sunday morning, to assist the local Police with their investigations in a case of sexual abuse.
Police spokesman Brigadier Robelto Hodge said the police department was busy with an investigation involving allegations of sexual abuse.
Hodge said that, given the sensitivity of the case and Statia being a small community, he could not provide any more information at this time.
He said the investigation was still in its preliminary stage and that, at this moment, no arrests had been made.
“So, he go with our money, take jail for [a few years] and then he out,” one of the victims complained bitterly.
