Concern over relations between schoolboys and tourists

DIRECTOR OF THE Criminal Justice Research and Planning Unit Cheryl Willoughby today voiced concern about  schoolboys ending up on the beach trying to establish questionable 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.

She made the comments during a conference on confronting sexual exploitation staged by the Women of Purpose Ministry at the District “A” Police Complex. (TY)
