–this case needs to be made public

Dear Editor,
AT present, there is a reported case of alleged sexual abuse committed on a school girl in the community of St. Deny’s, Tapakuma, Essequibo, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam). This horrible act that has been committed on this child must never go unchecked.

Many feel however, that the alleged perpetrator may again get off the hook since his relative has ‘strings all over the world’ and are afraid to speak out against the evil in this community. The residents are of the view that should this crime go unsolved, it would only lead to further trouble.

Sir, there are known instances of alleged misconduct of a similar nature committed by this very resident in the past, but no justice was ever served. Editor, there is a recent case where a schoolboy was sexually abused and murdered in Berbice. This was all because, although residents reported incidents of assaults, police were slow to act. Residents of St. Deny’s , however, are upbeat and of the firm view that in this case there would be no stone left unturned, that the case would be thoroughly investigated and the necessary action be taken by the relevant law enforcement institution (s), to keep the criminal-minded at bay from preying on our young children, our young girls in particular.

Please be assured that the matter above will reach the desk of the President, the Head of the Armed Forces of Guyana, should the circumstances occasion this.

Regards
