Children’s Authority Responds After Ex-Employee Charged For Indecency With Minor

By Newsroom

The Children’s Authority affirms that the highest standard of conduct is demanded from all of its employees, and assures that any report of abuse is thoroughly investigated.

It follows news that a former employee of the Authority was charged with serious indecency, for allegedly exposing his private parts to a male minor.

Kevin Duke, of Rockley Vale, Scarborough, is alleged to have committed the act in 2019, when the victim was 16.

“When the matter of the employee, who was charged with one count of serious indecency, was brought to the Authority’s attention, the organisation immediately conducted its investigation procedure, which resulted in the suspension of the employee and commencement of criminal investigations by the Child Protection Unit of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service,” the Authority said in a statement on Monday night.
