Businessman arrested for allegedly molesting daughters

(Jamaica Observer) – A businessman in his 60s could be slapped with more than 20 counts of incest and indecent assault following his arrest on Tuesday on allegations that he had been molesting his three young daughters.

The man, with auto-related businesses across the country, was held during the afternoon at his lawyer’s office along Duke Street in downtown Kingston.

“He was right here in my office in an interview with me when three officers from CISOCA [Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse] came in and took him away,” attorney Vincent Wellesley told the Observer.

According to Wellesley, his client had come in to see him as he wanted to turn himself over to the police after learning on Saturday that he was wanted for questioning in relation to the alleged incidents.
