Police search TV6, take away Crime Watch tapes

Police went to the offices of CCN TV6 Thursday and took away several video recordings and documents relating to an alleged rape of a 13-year-old Morvant schoolgirl that was shown on the station’s Crime Watch programme in October. 

Media reports say police stated that they questioned several members of staff including senior newsroom personnel about the broadcast. The tape shows what appears to be two young men assaulting a 13-year-old girl. 

Police arrested two Morvant teenagers following the broadcasts. Both men currently before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate on criminal charges relating to the incident.

Crime Watch host Ian Alleyne told reporters there is a political move to investigate the show. “I am still on the air and I am alive tonight. They can’t stop me," he said. "It is all about politics."
