Customs officer charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct

Jamal Forde, a 36-year-old Customs Officer who resides at Providence, East Bank Demerara, was arraigned on Friday before Sparendaam Magistrate Abigail Gibbs on charges of exposing his genitals to a police officer, resisting arrest, and disorderly behaviour.
He pleaded not guilty as charged, and has been placed on bail as follows: for the charge of exposing his genitals (indecent exposure), he is on $60,000 bail; for the charge of resisting arrest, he is on $50,000 bail; and for the charge of disorderly behaviour, he is on $50,000 bail. His next court appearance is set for December 12, 2024.
According to reports, Forde’s arrest followed an altercation at the Sparendaam Police Station, during which he allegedly exposed his genitals to a police constable, leading to the primary charge under the Sexual Offences Act. The situation reportedly escalated when Forde resisted arrest and engaged in disorderly behaviour, precipitating the additional charges.
