Former PNP MP Charged With Incest Involving Minor

A former Member of Parliament affiliated with the People’s National Party has been formally charged following allegations of sexual abuse involving a minor.

Law enforcement sources indicate that the ex-legislator, who previously served a single term representing a rural constituency in Cornwall, is accused of sexually assaulting his 13-year-old daughter. The alleged incident is said to have taken place earlier this year.

Reports suggest the child was at the former MP’s residence when the incident occurred. It is understood that the matter was later reported to the police, prompting an investigation. Authorities confirmed that the individual was taken into custody within the past few days.

Due to the sensitive nature of the case and to protect the identity of the minor, the name of the accused and specific details about the constituency he represented are being withheld.

In response, the People’s National Party issued a statement acknowledging the situation and confirming that an internal committee has been assigned to review the former MP’s status within the organization.

The party emphasized that it does not tolerate such allegations, stating that there is no place within its ranks or wider society for individuals accused of crimes of this nature. It also expressed concern for the alleged victim and others affected by the matter.

Investigations into the case remain ongoing.
