Public officer Lorna Stevens charged for Breach of Trust
Our newsroom was informed that the charge is in relation to investigations into the Elmore Stoutt High School wall that was commissioned during the tenure of former Minister for Education Mr Myron V. Walwyn.
Stevens was reportedly arrested and charged on October 20, 2022, and was subsequently granted bail.
Reports of Stevens being charged were confirmed by Police Media Liaison Diane L. Drayton this evening, October 21, 2022.
"I can confirm that Lorna Stevens was charged for Breach of Trust by a Public Officer. She was granted bail. No further information is available at this time," Drayton told our newsroom in response to queries on the matter.
It was only on October 11, 2022, that the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) announced that Director of the International Affairs Secretariat Najan Christopher was charged for Breach of Trust and False Assumption of Authority.
Police said Christopher’s charges stem from the diplomatic note sent from the Premier's office.
Stevens is 2nd person charged
Meanwhile, Mr Kelvin Thomas, 55, of Chalwell Estate, Tortola was the first person charged in relation to the ESHS wall project investigations.
Thomas was charged in June 2022 with Obtaining property by deception; Making a false statement to a public officer; and Possession of the proceeds of criminal conduct.
In 2021, a specialist investigative team was appointed to conduct a full review of the investigation conducted by the Police in 2020 into the wall project.
According to the RVIPF, this was to ensure that all instructions and further actions requested were complied with and that there was a thorough, and fair investigation.

God dont like ugly
Retirement for anyone standing in the governor’s way. Things are taking a serious turn in the VI.
I suspect there is other matters outside the COI being investigated. Have reasons to believe UK has approved for agents to work in a number of government departments.
There are going to be more arrests and that’s what the governor has been saying for a while now, prepare for more insiders to be put away.
So that's the only the charge on the books they can get? Just get a good lawyer and u beat that charge easily Lorna and others. Most of these charges are based on feelings with no real evidence but just to appease the c.o.i , that special investigative team is just a waste of time and tax payers money, call the feds instead to do a proper investigation. They can't even do a proper investigation in the uk but they come here like they know sh**, the local investigators would have done a better job but because of the politics inside and outside of the force.
This to shall pass.
Now want to remember God.

Who are you to judge anyone including her? Let go of hatred because it brings sicknesses in body and mind. Just let it go move on.

At the end of the day, the lesson to be learnt is to ‘Serve with integrity.’ Do what is right regardless of what the minister’s wishes maybe. The job of the civil servant is to deliver a reasonable service to the public…….not to do the under the table dealings of the ministers.
You don’t like it? Maybe you stand to lose out? Anyone will keep defending bad actions must be bad theyself.
Start to read for yourself. It is said if you want to hide information from black people, put it in a book/ write it down. We seem to be a people who prefer to listen to rumours and inflammatory stories rather than seeking out the truth.
we have a similar problem with the dope, only the drug users being arrested, while the dope pushers and dope importers up and down walking free
