THE Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago (LATT) has warned that it is a criminal offence to publish or broadcast any information likely to lead to the identification of a complainant in sexual offences matters.

In a media release yesterday, the Association further called on the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) and other relevant authorities to investigate the source of the leak of the alleged victim’s confidential statement in a matter surrounding attorney Martin George.

The Association said the TTPS must hold accountable any individual responsible for this “unlawful and unethical conduct”.
