Rumours are circulating that a group of school girls were being sexually assaulted in a yellow mini bus. It is alleged that the bus driver and several men were engaging in inappropriate behaviour with the students when they were caught by police.
Unverified claims suggest a yellow bus that operates along the Waterhouse to downtown Kingston route deviated from its usual path as part of what is being described as a routine arrangement. The vehicle was allegedly taken to a secluded location, where the driver and his accomplices allegedly carried out unlawful activities with girls who should have been at school.
It is alleged that the police were alerted and, acting on intelligence, officers quickly moved to the area. Upon arrival, the police reportedly caught the individuals inside the vehicle in the middle of the act. Everyone was evacuated from the bus, and the men involved were taken into custody.
Several videos now circulating on social media appear to show the aftermath of the police intervention. In one clip, the students, dressed in their uniforms, are seen exiting the bus in a hurried manner. Another video shows several suspects seated in the back of a police service vehicle. There is also a third recording that captures officers instructing the bus driver as he navigates the vehicle.
Details about the exact nature of the alleged activities have not been officially confirmed by authorities.
After the videos surfaced with the rape allegations, the public reacted strongly on social media. There were comments praising the informant who alerted the police, while many strongly condemned the actions of the adult men. Persons expressed that those involved should face the full extent of the law.
Meanwhile, opinions were divided when it came to the involvement of the schoolgirls. Some users insisted that the girls, despite being minors, should also be held accountable. Some users argued that they are “old enough to know wrong from right.” Others rejected that view, maintaining that the girls are still children who may have been influenced or taken advantage of by adults.
