Pedophile strikes at Dominica hospital

ROSEAU, Dominica-OFFICIALS and staff at the Princess Margaret Hospital have expressed great concern over a Saturday, September 6 break-in by an unauthorized person that nearly led to an eight-year-old female being sexually assaulted.

According to Dominica News Online, sources within the hospital indicated to police that a male intruder forced his way into the Winston Ward of the facility early Saturday morning through unsecured glass louvers.

It is believed that the assailant then hid from security on the premise before making his way to the room of a young female patient.

Once access to the girl’s room was gained, the attacker pretended to be a doctor and asked the patient to “open her legs for an examination”. The girl questioned the man’s credentials as a doctor and asked why he was not wearing a medical jacket.

Reports then indicated that the man fled the scene before being able to assault the girl, though it remains unclear if this was due to the girl’s questions or because of staff presence.   ~~Adz:Right~~

Dominica News Online further alleged that the suspect broke into the Children’s Ward of the same hospital one week prior in an attempt to molest a young boy, though these report are unconfirmed.

Members of the Dominica Nurses Association are in an uproar over the incident, claiming that proper security must be put in place before a more serious attack occurs.

The Dominica Criminal Investigations Department continues to gather evidence and search for the attacker.
