“Otesha”’s disturbing paedophilia comment
Police have not received any reports to suggest that they should investigate the allegations of paedophilia against Otis “Otesha” Pearson, who has recently been recorded in the media stating that he was involved with “little boys”.
This is according to Police C Division (East Coast Demerara) Commander Calvin Brutus on Wednesday evening. He, however, noted that he was unaware of how “headquarters” – Police A Division (Georgetown-East Bank Demerara) – was acting on the issue.
Efforts to make contact with the Division Head Marlon Chapman proved futile.
Over the past few weeks, Pearson, a member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) community, has come under fire for disclosing on national television that he was involved with “little boys”.
He was at the time seeking to get an apology from the Guyana Police Force after he was wrongfully detained in connection with the murder of another member of the LGBTI community.
Shortly after, while Pearson sought to clarify that he referred to men younger than himself as “little boys” and he did not mean underage boys, Child Care and Protection Agency (CC&PA) Director Ann Greene had stated that an investigation would be launched into the matter. Greene’s call came at the heels of a picture surfacing on social media with Pearson and a young boy, suspected to be underage, embracing each other.
Another disclosure that raised eyebrows was the fact that, during his interview with media operatives, Pearson did not fail to mention that he had a relatively good relationship with members of the Guyana Police Force. “Many of the officers of the Guyana Police Force has my number,” he had said.
