Despite numerous complaints of sexual harassment and more than three months since being questioned by the police, a senior Regional Six official at the centre of the allegations has not been charged, and relatives of the alleged victims are becoming frustrated.
There are indications that some of the victims are willing to come forward with more evidence against the alleged perpetrator, who holds a senior post at the Regional Administration of Region 6.
Police officials have indicated that a report is with the Director
Of Public Prosecution and they are awaiting advice on the way forward.
The official’s alleged victims are said to be young women who go to his office to seek employment. He landed in trouble some months ago after one of the women filed a complaint with the police.
A number of women and their relatives have constantly complained that they were being approached by the man who would offer to help them to secure jobs.
Kaieteur News was told that the official would claim that he has connections with the Ministry of Home Affairs and was in a position to secure jobs as Neighbourhood Police Officers.
It is alleged that on March 13, the official lured a young woman to his office and made advances toward her. The alleged victim also claimed that the official exposed his privates.
The matter was reported to the police and the alleged perpetrator was detained but eventually released on $50,000 station bail. The police have since stated that the file has been sent to the DPP for advice.
This same official was implicated in a food poisoning scandal in 2010 when close to 400 regular Police, Community and Neighbourhood Police officials suffered food poisoning at a retreat in Berbice.
