San Pedro Man Charged for Tourist Rape
Police in San Pedro have now charged a resident in connection with an alleged case of rape. Thirty-seven year old John Cus, an electrician of San Pedro Town, was detained almost immediately after the report was made. Last week a twenty-five-year-old female American tourist visited the San Pedro Police Station and reported that at around four-thirty on Friday morning, she was awakened by a man known her raping her. We hear more from ASP Alejandro Cowo:
