A 41-year-old man is charged with one count of exposing a child to pornography and engaging in sexual activity in the presence of an eight-year-old boy.
Tobago Child Protection Unit (CPU) detectives have charged man who was instructed to stay away from the boy’s school and residence and to report to his local police station three times a week as part of his bail conditions.
He was granted $100,000 bail with a surety by a Scarborough Magistrate on Friday and will reappear before the court on December 9, 2022, to answer the charges.
The charges were laid on Thursday by PC Thomas of the Tobago CPU following a June 2022 police report in which a woman told police of the incident.
According to the boy’s mother, the child said that on a day unknown between December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2021, the accused masturbated in the presence of the child while watching pornographic material on a television.
A subsequent investigation supervised by Superintendent Claire Guy Allyene, acting Assistant Superintendent Seepersad and Insp Miller of the CPU resulted in the arrest of the man.
