Police in St. Vincent and the Grenadines have warned against the circulation of a video showing what appears to be a young female being gang raped. It is possible it’s the same video that has been making the rounds in Barbados.
In a statement, the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force said it is investigating the origins of the video that is being circulated on social media, appearing to show two males raping the girl and suggesting that at least a third person was present and filming the crime.
The statement stresses that it is a prosecutable offence to circulate or share videos of this nature on social media and warns that perpetrators can be charged with multiple offences under the Cybercrime Act, including child pornography and could be fined up to 750 thousand EC dollars.
