Woman accuses CJIA of victimisation after sexual misconduct report to cops

The Cheddi Jagan International Airport

As the police prepare to send a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice on a sexual misconduct complaint against a senior airport manager at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), the facility is being accused of trying to victimise and humiliate his accuser.

On June 18th, one day after she made a report to the Guyana Police Force, the woman said she was escorted out of the airport by security officials there. However, to date the woman nor her employer has received any formal letter from the airport indicating that her airport security credentials have been withdrawn.

“Women should not be subjected to victimisation. It’s like you have to go through this twice. You have to go through the emotional and mental battle all over again,” she told Sunday Stabroek in an interview.
