FOUR persons are to be charged with sexual abuse in Jamaican children's homes and places of safety, but Kent Pantry, the director of public prosecutions, has declined to give names or discuss the specifics of the charges until the police have made the arrests.
"A ruling was made, but I can't give too much details before the police have carried out their part," Pantry told the Observer.
The Eastern Kingston police apparently received Pantry's broad instructions last week when they received the prosecutor's case files after a more than year-long investigation, but yesterday they were still reviewing the documents. ...
Osbourne, now the general manager of TVJ, had complained about how a child who she attempted to adopt from a home run by the United Church of Jamaica and Grand Cayman had displayed heightened sexual curiosity and aggressiveness and had indicated sexual contact with adults.
