Boy Is Videoed Detailing Sexual Attack; Suspects are Arrested

Chester Williams

A rather disturbing video of a boy detailing a vile sexual attack against him was posted on social media this morning.  The video was taken in Roaring Creek Village, Cayo, and in it, the boy says that he was forced to perform a sexual act on a male he identified as “Popeye”. The boy said he was threatened into performing the lewd act or be shot with a handgun if he refused. In the video, the minor also mentions another victim and it seems that the despicable abuse happened on several occasions. The video was forwarded to Commissioner of Police Chester Williams four days ago and he had hoped that it would not make its way on any social media platform but Facebook erupted with disgust and anger at the video and the pedophile perpetrator.  A full investigation was launched into the unsettling video with the aim of bringing those responsible to justice.  According to Williams, the suspects are currently in police custody.

“I saw the video and it was brought to my attention about four days ago and I was hoping that it would not have made its way to social media because it brings some degree of humiliation to the child. The video is outrageous to say the least and I have since directed the police in Roaring Creek to conduct an investigation into the matter. That investigation commenced four days ago after I got the video and I got an update from them today and the suspects in respect of that matter are in custody presently. They are being interviewed by the police. We are looking at charges of perhaps rape because performing oral sex without consent is rape under the amendment to the criminal code that deals with sexual offenses.”
