...allegedly molesting his daughter - Children put into protective custody
February 24, 2009
A prominent businessman with branches of his organisation in May Pen, Linstead and Kingston was arrested yesterday by the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) for molesting his 12-year-old daughter.
According to a spokesperson for CISOCA, an employee saw the man sexually abusing the child and reported the matter to his son, who contacted the police.
His three daughters, aged 15, 12 and nine, were taken into state care last Thursday. The father was asked to visit CISOCA's offices for questioning but he failed to turn up.
The police arrested him yesterday at his attorney-at-law's office.
The Gleaner understands that the father was accused in the past of sexually abusing his daughters.
