Westmoreland man being sought in connection with sexual abuse of teen

WESTMORELAND, Jamaica — The Westmoreland police are seeking a local businessman who is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl on multiple occasions.

“A report was made and a statement was collected. As soon as he is located, he will be taken into custody and charged,” a detective with knowledge of the case told OBSERVER ONLINE.

The abuse allegedly began when the teenager was 13 years old. A report was made to the police on Monday, June 14.

The man has reportedly not been seen at his place of business since then.

The Westmoreland branch of the Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse is investigating the matter.
