Information reaching this newspaper is that minutes after 11 p.m., investigators from that station's sexual offence unit showed up at the facility and slapped cuffs on the man who is accused of sexually molesting an 11-year-old girl.

sexual favours

A source at the hospital told THE STAR that the man is accused of requesting and receiving sexual favours from the little girl on Tuesday, after which he allegedly gave her $100 with the understanding that she would not make mention of the matter to anyone.

When contacted, the Hannah Town police said the case was very delicate and as such no information would be released. The policeman, however, confirmed that an employee at the hospital was arrested.

When asked to respond to whether or not the employee was taken into custody for sexually assaulting a minor and paying her money to keep it a secret, the lawman said "allegedly".

carnal abuse

The police declined from stating if the man was slapped with more than one count of carnal abuse. It is not yet clear if the incident occurred at the hospital or in the community. The Hannah Town police are investigating.
