A young single mother, Jessica Bencomo, has come forward with harrowing allegations of workplace sexual assault, demanding justice after her claims were reportedly dismissed by both her employer and local authorities. The 29-year-old pharmacy assistant detailed her traumatic experience on social media, recounting how her boss allegedly attempted to kiss her on October 7, 2025, despite her repeated protests. Jessica claims that when she reported the incident to her supervisor, her concerns were ignored, leaving her feeling unsupported and vulnerable. Compounding her distress, she alleges that the Belize Police Department downplayed the severity of her case, classifying it as “common assault” rather than sexual harassment. Now unemployed and struggling to provide for her children, Jessica is urging the Belize Police Department and the Pharmacy Association of Belize to intervene and ensure accountability. In an emotional interview, Jessica emphasized her determination to be heard, stating, “I need to report this because I’m really scared. I am emotionally distraught.” Her case has sparked outrage and calls for systemic change in addressing workplace harassment and assault.
