A violent sexual assault has been reported within a laboratory at a secondary school in Port of Spain, prompting an active investigation by the Woodbrook police. The incident, which occurred on January 22nd, involved a 26-year-old woman who was attacked by a male acquaintance.
According to the victim’s statement to authorities, the traumatic event unfolded around 12:15 PM. The woman had returned to the school laboratory to retrieve a forgotten cellphone charger from her bag, which she believed was still on a desk. Upon arrival, she discovered her bag was missing from its original location.
The situation escalated when she encountered a man known to her in the laboratory room. After a brief exchange, she proceeded to an adjacent room to continue her search. The assailant then strategically positioned himself in the doorway, effectively trapping her inside the secondary room.
The attacker produced a knife and commanded her to retreat further into the room. Under the threat of violence, the victim complied with his demands. The assailant then instructed her to unbutton her shirt before initiating the sexual assault. The violence intensified as he forced her to remove her pants and underwear and lie on a laboratory table while he maintained control through the continued threat of the weapon.
In a particularly terrifying moment, the suspect held the knife to her throat from behind. Despite the victim’s attempts to physically resist and push him away, the assault continued. Before finally permitting her to leave, the perpetrator issued additional threats to ensure her silence.
Local law enforcement officials are conducting a thorough investigation into this disturbing case, which has raised serious concerns about security within educational facilities.
