Aruban Minister accused of assault … Will Aruba take this crime Seriously?

So will Aruba take this alleged crime seriously? According to Amigoe, a woman has filed an assault complaint against a minister of the Oduber cabinet, “It is not clear whether the charge is assault, sexual intimidation, or even rape”. It is being reported that the minister being accused of assault has left the island for Miami. Funny how the rats always flee the ship. Just another blemish on “One Happy Island”.

Wonder if this woman was told by police when she reported the alleged assault to go to Carlos N’ Charlies, have a beer, wait and everything will be ok?

Amigoe, November 16, 2006: Minister accused of assault 

ORANJESTAD –A woman has lodged an assault complaint against a minister of the Oduber-cabinet.  The Public Prosecutor (OM) in Aruba confirmed that the police are investigating the complaint of a woman against a minister.  The OM didn’t say much about this matter. 

The case has caused a lot of commotion on the island.  There are a lot of speculations on whom this minister is, and that he has left for Miami.  Correspondent of Z-86 in Curacao, Toko Winklaar and chide editor of the Aruban newspaper Awe Mainta reported that the only minister that is currently abroad is Ramon Lee (MEP). He didn’t say though that Lee is the offender.    The victim is supposedly an employee of another minister.  It is not clear whether the charge is assault, sexual intimidation, or even rape.
