A newly hired school support staff member has been bailed pending further inquiries following an allegation of serious sexual assault made against him by a teenage girl, police have confirmed.
Police, following Cayman Compass queries, said on Tuesday that officers received a report of the allegation made against the man by the teen who was visiting the Cayman Islands.
He was subsequently arrested.
“RCIPS Protective Services initiated an investigation and have interviewed the accused male and other persons connected with the case,” the police said.
The man has been bailed while inquiries continue.
The victim has since left the Cayman Islands and returned home to family, police said.
The Education Ministry and the Department of Education Services, in a joint statement Friday, said following a report about the “misconduct” of the newly recruited support staff member, the matter was referred to the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub for investigation “in line with the protocol for addressing child protection allegations involving staff”.
“The member of staff implicated has also been removed from the school pending the outcome of the investigation,” the statement said.
