WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY T.M. PITMAN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 5th MARCH 2013
Question
On what evidence have the police based their statement that no East European sex ring has been operating within the Island?
Answer
The term East European Sex Ring was written as part of the graffiti on the wall, which started this investigation.
The statement issued by the States of Jersey Police reads as follows:
"During the investigation into the graffiti on the sea wall at St Aubin no evidence was found to suggest any of the allegations made were true. A number of individuals were spoken to, including the people named in the writing. Some of those people identified as being involved in this supposed "sex ring" no longer reside in Jersey and haven't done for a number of years.
Due to there being no indication that these allegations are true the incident is being investigated as an act of malicious damage.
No one has been charged in relation to this incident.
However, if new evidence came to light we would investigate thoroughly."
The States of Jersey Police have not to date found any evidence of an Eastern European Sex Ring operating in Jersey.
