The offences were reportedly committed on Aug. 6 and 7, 2024.

In each case, police said no further details would be disclosed because of the sensitive nature of the matter and to protect the identity and well-being of the minor involved.

The police did not disclose information about the status of the cases before the court.

However, the Police Public Relations and Complaint Department urged the public to remain vigilant and report all cases of sexual offences involving minors or vulnerable individuals.

Reports can be made to the Sexual Offences Unit at (784) 453-4599, Police Control at (784) 457-1211, or the nearest police station.

“All reports will be treated with the strictest confidentiality,” the press release said.

“The RSVGPF remains determined to ensure justice for victims and hold perpetrators accountable.”
