THE Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has recommended the charge of rape to be instituted against City Constable Clifton Pellew.
Pellew is alleged to have raped a 16-year-old boy.

On August 15, 2017, the lance corporal attached to the City Constabulary was allegedly caught having sex with the boy who was detained for loitering.
Another corporal, Quacy Baveghens, who allegedly saw the act, later reported the incident to his supervisor, the City Mayor, Patricia Chase-Green and Town Clerk, Royston King.

Corporal Baveghens was dismissed along with the suspect but they were both subsequently reinstated following the intervention by the Ministry of Communities.
Activists had picketed City Hall on several occasions demanding that Pellew be charged.
