Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro has ordered an investigation into the online leak of the evidential statement of a female attorney, recorded by police, whose allegations led to another attorney – Martin George – being arrested and charged for sexual offences.

The statement, which has been posted and reposted extensively on social media, highlights the name of the alleged victim as well as details of the alleged sexual assault.

In a statement on July 11, the TTPS said the commissioner noted with grave concern the statements of the Law Association (LATT) regarding the alleged leaking of sensitive information, including the name, image and contents of a statement given by the complainant in a recent sexual assault investigation.
