The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is actively investigating a video circulating on social media showing an adult female gyrating on a minor.
In the video a young child is seen wining on a woman before being pulled away by another adult.
The investigation will determine if the offence of sexual touching of a child has been committed contrary to Section 19 of the Children Act.
Section 19 of the Act states where a person touches a child and the touching is sexual, and the child is under 16 years of age, the person commits an offence. The Act further states that a person who commits this offence is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine of TT$50,000 and imprisonment for 10 years, or on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for 20 years.
The TTPS is also urging the public to desist from sharing this video as doing so may amount to child pornography contrary to Section 40 of the Children Act.
