POLICE Lance Corporal 17370 Huford David, previously charged with human trafficking, is now facing a rape charge.

An arrest warrant was issued for him because he had not presented himself before Georgetown Magistrate Fabayo Azore when his matter was called yesterday.

According to the facts, David, previously charged with trafficking in persons at Kukumu Landing last January, engaged in penetrative sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old female juvenile at Kukumu, Mazaruni River.
Particulars of the previous offence, which was heard before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry on Tuesday, April 25, stated that between January 1 and 31, he engaged in trafficking a 14-year-old female juvenile for sexual exploitation at Kukumu, Mazaruni River.
This trial is still ongoing before the Chief Magistrate.
