Southern Police Investigating Constable
posted (January 13, 2015)
Today reports fanned out across social media that a police officer from Independence was on the run because police want to arrest him for having sex with an under aged girl in the police barracks. Well today we spoke to the officer commanding the southern formation who told us that officer isn't running anywhere - he remains on active duty and worked last night.

But Superintendent Ralph Moody did tell us that the constable is under investigation for involvement with logwood smuggling and the carnal knowledge case. Moody told us he expects this constable will be arrested and charged in the next few days - but he couldn't say with certainty for which investigation. But, as we said at the top, until then, he remains in uniform and on active duty.

He is the same officer we told you about last week who took a photo of a nude teenager after he'd had what is said to be consensual sex with her in the barracks. But, while she is now 16, there is some question as to whether she had reached the age of consent when the photo was taken.
