Did Other Police Officers Know about the Unnatural Crime?

The news this week that a police constable was charged with engaging in an unnatural crime with a fifteen-year-old boy at the Punta Gorda Police Station raised the ire of many individuals who lashed out on social media against the policeman. And when the media engaged him, the Minister of Home Affairs said that the investigation will also look at other police officers who may have known about the incident before or while it was happening and did nothing to stop it.

“That is certainly going to be a part of the investigation that is currently being carried out. But I join the commissioner of police in expressing the fact that I am extremely concerned. disturbed by this kind of news coming out of Punta Gorda by a police officer. Again, the people of this country have trust and confidence in the police department to protect us, to serve us, to keep us safe, not to be doing these kinds of things. And I know the argument can be made that we cannot control every single human being and what they are going to be doing. But this certainly is a black eye on the department and this certainly needs to be dealt with very stiffly.”
