Police have arrested a man for the sexual assault of a woman participating in a Jouvert band on Monday morning, warning the public that “any form of sexual assault is a serious criminal offence.”
Authorities reported that around 9:08 a.m., the 34-year-old victim was playing mas along Tragarete Road, Port of Spain, near a Ministry of Agriculture building, when the suspect approached her from behind.
Police said the man began dancing behind the woman before attempting what was described as “a non-consensual sexual act.” Realising what was happening, the woman quickly pushed the man away. He then attempted to flee from the band.
