A TOP official at the Essequibo Technical Institute (ETI), located at Anna Regina in Region Two, is currently in police custody assisting with investigations into allegations that he sexually abused two female students.

The two students who stay in the dormitory have lodged complaints of alleged sexual assault by the official while at the facility. The report was made to the police and he was subsequently arrested.

According to information, a file into his matter has been prepared and has been sent to the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecution for advice.
Guyana Chronicle understands that the matter had been raised a few months back with senior officials at the Institute, but nothing was done. The girls were advised not to take it further since the institute’s image will be tarnished.

However, the students went to the Anna Regina Police Station and made a report and detectives are currently investigating.
