But even though several gang members are still locked up under the SOE, maybe it should be extended to some police officers as well. That's because, as we reported yesterday, an officer was arrested and charged for raping a 15-year-old boy. 29-year-old Marcus Che is accused of sexually assaulting the minor at the police station. Today the media asked Minister Kareem Musa if he's sure the other officers attached to that precinct weren't also complicit.
Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs
"That is part of the investigation that is being carried out because like you rightly said if it is happening at a police station then of course there might be other officers who have knowledge and that of course is certainly going to be a part of the investigation that is currently being carried out but I join the commissioner of police in expressing the fact that I am extremely disturbed by this kind of news coming out of Punta Gorda by a police officer. Again, the people of this country have trust and confidence in the police department to protect us, to serve us, to keep us safe, not to be doing these kinds of things and I know the argument can be made that we cannot control every single human being and what they are going to be doing but this certainly is a black eye on the department and this certainly needs to be dealt with very stiffly."
