TCI: Man charged for alleged sexual assault of 7-year-old
A 44-year-old man from South Caicos has been arrested and charged for the sexual assault of a 7-year-old girl.
The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) announced yesterday afternoon that it had laid charges against Latharis Anthony Harvey.
He is expected to appear before a Magistrate next week.
Commissioner of Police Trevor Botting said RTCIPF has a zero-tolerance approach to cases of violence and sexual abuse.
“A child who is being abused may only reach out for help once. If a report is made to you, please report the matter urgently. The RTCIPF have a dedicated Safeguarding and Public Protection Team and will deal with any reports professionally, sensitively and discreetly. Parents, teach your children the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touch. Let your children know they can confide in you, no matter the situation,” he said.
