Antigua and Barbuda’s opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) says it welcomes the long over-due action of the Police Service Commission to suspend Commissioner of Police Wendell Robinson and to order an investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations against him.

While the Party applauds the appointment of Deputy Commissioner Atlee Rodney to act in the position of Commissioner of Police, the Party frowns at the decision to make him head the Investigation.

According to the UPP, the potential for conflict of interest is high since any adverse findings against Robinson could be to the benefit of Rodney.

A report by the Antigua Observer says that Commissioner of Police Wendel Robinson cleared out his office yesterday afternoon soon after receiving his letter of suspension and notice of an investigation into allegations that he made sexual advances towards three junior ranking policemen.

It is further alleged that he then victimised the officers after they rejected his advances.
