Police officer gets 32 months imprisonment for indecent assault on a minor
The sentencing of Harris Walters was done by Senior Magistrate Tamia N. Richards around noon today, Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
Walters, who hails from Virgin Gorda, was sentenced to 32 months for each count of indecent assault on a minor.
The sentences, according to reports, are to run concurrently. This means Walters will only serve 32 months or about 2 years, 8 months in prison.
‘Inappropriate sexual manner’ @ VG Police Station
During the trial, the court heard that there was a line of contact between the complainant and the police officer in 2014 as they shared a filial relationship. The said contact continued into July 2015 and on a day unknown the child had accompanied the police officer to one of the sister islands to visit with a family friend.
On that occasion, the accused had invited the child to accompany him to the police station on that island where he engaged in an inappropriate sexual manner with the child.
‘Inappropriate sexual manner’ @ hotel
According to the court, later in that said month there was yet another inappropriate sexual contact with the child. In this instance the accused allegedly had the child accompany him to a hotel where he interacted with the child in a sexually inappropriate manner.
The court also heard that on the latter occasion, the defendant had given the child a sum of money and some refreshments. Subsequently, the child allegedly related the incidents to her mother and a police officer.
The matter was reported to police and the child was taken to Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital where she was examined.
Harris had pleaded not guilty to the two charges and granted $70, 000 bail on September 20, 2015 by Magistrate Ayana O. Baptiste-DaBreo.
Walters was sent on compulsory leave in 2015; however, it is unclear if he has since been terminated, as efforts to get a comment from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) were unsuccessful.
