Investigations into the allegations of a schoolboy that he was sodomised by a policeman while staying at his home have taken an about turn, after it was discovered that the story was nothing but a fabrication.
The boy reportedly recanted his story after two medical examinations revealed that he was never molested after all.
The 13-year old boy was found on Saturday morning in the Cop’s East Coast Demerara house by ranks attached to the Cove and John Police Station after they received word that the boy had been held there for two days.
When questioned by investigators, the lad gave what has now been established as a well rehearsed scenario, of how he was sodomised twice by his boarder.
He described how on Thursday last he got into minor trouble at his school, and fearing that he would be scolded by his grandmother, with whom he lives, sought refuge at the home of the policeman.
The policeman who lives alone willingly obliged.
The teenager told police that his first sexual encounter with the policeman occurred at 01:00 hour on Friday and this was allegedly repeated yesterday around 05:00 hours.
Following the teen’s allegations last Friday, the Lance Corporal who is stationed on the East Coast of Demerara was placed under close arrest although he vehemently denied molesting the youth.
An initial medical examination was done at the Mahaicony Hospital on Saturday night and it revealed that the teen was not sexually molested.
Investigators were not satisfied and sent the teen for another medical examination which also came back negative.
Faced with overwhelming evidence that he was lying, the teen finally confessed that while he had spent two days at the cop’s home, he had lied about the sexual assault.
Kaieteur News understands that the schoolboy had developed a relationship with the policeman in question after he was previously arrested for wandering.
Up to late last night this newspaper was unable to ascertain if the policeman was released.
The new revelation of sexual abuse had threatened to plunge the Police Force further into crisis, following the much publicised rape scandal that forced Henry Greene out of the office of Commissioner of Police.
