Premier Michael Misick of the Turks and Caicos is under
investigation for an alleged sexual assault on an
unidentified US female. The incident is alleged
to have taken place last weekend and the investigation has
been confirmed by the island's Governor Richard Tauwhare.
The investigation is being conducted by the Royal Turks and
Caicos Police Force and is being overseen by law enforcement
officials from the United States.
According to the Turks and Caicos Weekly News - in
an official statement aired on local television on Thursday
(April 10) the Premier said:
“A few days ago an American female, after leaving the
Turks and Caicos Islands, made a false report to law
enforcement officials in the United States that she had
allegedly been sexually assaulted by me.
“I strongly and categorically deny these false allegations.
“Because an American citizen is involved, as a procedural
matter, law enforcement officials from the United States are
observing the investigation.
“I am confident that I will be completely and fully
exonerated of these false and outrageous allegations.
“Due to the ongoing investigation I will not be commenting
any further on this matter.
“Let me be clear – I will continue my duties as Premier - we
have a lot yet to accomplish.
“May God bless you and may God continue to bless the Turks
and Caicos Islands.”
