IT LOOKS as if schoolboys have joined the regular “beach bums” in hustling tourists frolicking by the seaside.

Director of the Criminal Justice Research and Planning Unit, Cheryl Willoughby, yesterday voiced concern about schoolboys ending up  on the beach trying to establish relationships with tourists. She said a number  of these visits occurred during school hours, and at times young males  were seen with mature tourists in relationships that could not be viewed as wholesome.

She indicated that youths might be trying to get financial and other benefits by exploiting a situation in which the British Press said middle-aged and older women were travelling to the Caribbean with sex on their minds.
