JVD cop accused of preying on 14-year-old girl
The policeman allegedly told the teenager how attracted he is to her and even gave the girl his personal telephone number.
It is also alleged that he tried to convince the child to sneak out of her mother’s home to meet him in the late of night.
The upset mother of the child told Virgin Islands News Online that she made a report to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) as recently as yesterday February 19, 2015. Before moving ahead with the story, this news site did make contact with the RVIPF’s Public Relations Officer Ms Diane Drayton to confirm if any such report had met the department. Ms Drayton has promised to check on this and give a response sometime today.
The mother said she decided to reach out to the public via the news and social media because the accused police officer allegedly took it upon himself to confront the child’s step father, accusing him of scandalising his name. She told this news site that this happened on Wednesday February 18, 2015.
“Last night he met my husband at Foxy’s and him and my husband had a big altercation out by Foxy’s, they almost fight because he threatening to lock up my husband because he say my husband scandalising his name…” alleged the mother.
According to the woman, in the midst of several others who were at the time at Foxy’s on Jost Van Dyke the cop and her husband had a heated argument which almost ended up in a physical altercation but it was quelled before reaching that stage.
In relating the incidents that led to her being concerned about her 14-year-old being a target, the woman said it was on January 27, 2015 her daughter was approached by the accused cop while walking home from school (in her school clothes) and he had questioned her about her age as he said he had an attraction to her.
She alleged, “He stopped and asked her if she wanted a ride and she told him no and he continued questioning her, he wants to know her name, what school she does go, what form she in, how old she is and when she tell him her age, when she tell him she is 14 he said wow two more years to go.”
“In my case two more years to go you telling my child that two more years means that she is 16, that mean she legal for people like you to trouble,” said the mother.
The mother claims that the following day, January 28, 2015 the accused again saw the child walking home from school and as she was passing Customs’ Office, the woman’s sister allegedly observed him “eyeing them” as he drove slowly in the police vehicle.
“He stopped and asked her if she can do him a favour and she asked him what? And she say he just smiled and he drive off….he drove and he come to East End close to the South side and he parked his police vehicle…. It’s one house or two house around but it’s not close to where he parked his vehicle and he waited there because that wasn’t in the public eye, and he waited there for her to reach up by that spot and when she got there he called her and he asked her if she wanted a ride and she turned down his ride also. He gave her a paper with his number on it and told her that he can’t wait, he has a crush on her and he wants her to call him tonight around 11:00pm so she could sneak out of my house to come meet him.”
“He came over on Monday, that’s when I actually see him because he didn’t know who I was and I really didn’t know who he was. I just put the number she gave me in my phone and that’s how I see a picture of his face on Whatsapp,” alleged the mother.
The woman said that when she called the number the police officer had given to her daughter she gave him the “full length of her lips”. She said that the person on the other end of the call had denied the allegations made against him. “After he denied it I told him what I had to tell him, I said I am not calling the police phone I am calling your personal cell phone because this is the number you gave my child…. And then he started to apologise, he sorry….”
According to the woman, the cop claimed that he had never before gotten into such a situation for the number of years he has been in the territory.
After hanging up, the mother alleged that the accused returned several calls to her phone continuing to apologise and after calling for another time and didn’t get any response from her he decided to send a text apologising. “That’s where he set up himself when he called back and he apologising,” according to the woman.
The mother has since met with personnel from the Social Development Department whom she said told her, among other things, that, "these things take a process."

We need to make sure the innocence of children is protected from those who seek to corrupt.
Why is his personal cell number given to a female minor?
Do the other students (males and females) have his personal cell number as well?
The child spoke up, the parents took action, and now their integrity and character is being challenged. What was she supposed to do? Come on now man.
Innocent until proven guilty yes, but who knows this man knows he troubles young girls all the time, but this one ain't take his s..t. Good for her, I commend her a great deal. I respect her mom to because this could a been worst
