A San Ignacio Police Officer allegedly raped a woman who was in custody. The 25 year old Bullet Tree resident reported that a police officer took her out of her cell yesterday morning around 5;30, took her a dark room and raped her. When we spoke to police today they told us they won't comment at this point because they are still investigating. The police officer has been detained.

And there is another case of sexual assault to report, this time of a 9 year old girl. The young girl along with her mother told police that she was at her Bella Vista Home in Toledo when a man - the family knows - entered the house. He went into the room where the 9-year-old girl was resting with her sisters and sexually assaulted her. This incident happened on Wednesday October 28th. Police have since charged 58-year-old Honduran, Gumercindo Garcia of Bella Vista Village for "UNLAWFUL SEXUAL ASSAULT."
