FOR failing to report a suspected sex crime committed against a teenager, a grandmother was charged.
Police reported that on Monday that the grandmother was granted in the sum of $25,000 bail after appearing before a Sangre Grande Magistrate.
She is expected to reappear before the court on March 14.
The grandmother was arrested and charged on January 21, by WPC Wells of the Eastern Division Child Protection Unit. The charge arose following a report made to police in September 2021, in which a girl claimed that she told her grandmother that a man known to her had intercourse with her. The teen also alleged that the suspect made her perform oral sex on him.
Following enquiries, spearheaded by acting Superintendent of Police Claire Guy-Alleyne, ASP Roberts and Sgt Baptiste, the woman was arrested and charged with the offence.
