ARRESTED
TV6 Crime Watch host held by police for questioning on rape tape

A scuffle broke out on the compound of Express House in Port of Spain last night as police officers of the Port of Spain CID attempted to arrest TV6's Crime Watch host Ian Alleyne.
ASP Ajith Persad who had waited for Alleyne outside Express House on Charlotte Street, said Alleyne was wanted for questioning in relation to an alleged criminal matter in which the rape of a minor was aired live on the Crime Watch programme in October last year.
Last December, a large contingent of officers had executed a warrant at CCNTV6's offices in search for tapes in relation to their investigation.
The action by the police came mere days before the six-month statutory limit for charges to be laid against anyone in connection with the airing of the tape expires on Monday.
Alleyne, police sources said, faces charges under the Sexual Offences Act which prohibits media houses from identifying victims of sexual attacks.
He is also facing a charge of resisting ASP Persad in the execution of his duty, a reliable police source told the Express last evening.
If charged, Alleyne would be granted bail by a Justice of the Peace, who was also at the CID office last night, and will appear before a Port of Spain magistrate later today to answer the charges.
CCN chief executive officer, Shida Bolai, maintained last evening that the company had always been cooperative with the police in their investigations.
Alleyne was led out of the Express House compound last night in handcuffs shortly after the Crime Watch programme ended and an angry mob attempted to challenge a handful of police officers who had come to detain him.
The front gate to the compound was violently shaken by the crowd as police officers held on to Alleyne and attempted to escort him from the compound into a waiting police vehicle.
At the time Alleyne was approached by the officers, he was shaking the hands of scores of supporters who had gathered behind the gate on the Charlotte Street entrance to lend support.
Alleyne and a cameraman were seen in a physical confrontation with the police and during the melee, Alleyne's attorney Om Lalla, who attempted to seek further answers from the police, was pushed aside.
As the police were attempting to remove him from the area of the gate, the crowd chanted, "Leave Ian Alleyne alone!"
ASP Persad eventually called for a pair of handcuffs and placed them on Alleyne's hand and again there was a physical confrontation. "You're under arrest for questioning in relation to a criminal investigation," ASP Persad repeated to Alleyne.
Security guards at CCN were forced to brace the gate with their bodies and a parked car as the angry mob attempted to push it down and gain access to the compound.
Persad then decided to remove Alleyne from the area where the crowd was shouting and they walked through the CCN carpark towards the exit on South Quay.
As they waited for the police vehicle to arrive, the angry mob also changed their location and showed up on South Quay even before the police vehicle arrived. They again violently shook the gate calling on the police to leave Alleyne alone.
Alleyne was given a bottle of water and he sat on the edge of a wall in the carpark and spoke with Lalla and members of the media.
Eventually he was taken back to the Charlotte Street entrance and then to the unmarked police vehicle by Cpl Andre Lopez. While being taken to the vehicle, the irate mob chanted his name and quickly closed in on the vehicle.
Obscenities and abuses were hurled at the officers as they entered the vehicle to whisk Alleyne off to the CID office.
Police said they only placed the handcuffs on Alleyne after he held on to the gate and said he refused to leave with them. They said they repeatedly told Alleyne that he was under arrest for questioning but he refused and resisted.
Before he was arrested, Alleyne questioned the action of the police, saying he believed it was a personal attack against him by Commissioner of Police, Dwayne Gibbs.
Alleyne said: "The bigger picture is, I'm a fugitive? I'm a criminal to come down here with all this set of police and what not to arrest me, for what? But I'd let everybody know this is the work of your commissioner Dwayne Gibbs…This is personal.
"What is all this when there are criminals out there, there are rapist, there are monsters out there, go after them. Why are you coming after me? So let the nation see this is what happens when you stand up for justice in this country. Look at politics, just look at politics."
Questioned on whether the police had previously contacted him and requested that he come in for questioning, Alleyne said yes.
"They made attempts to contact me but nevertheless we had a discussion. We had a discussion and I'm sure Ajith (ASP Persad) could tell you the nature of the discussion. But they never indicated to me the urgency of the matter that (they) gonna come by six o'clock to lock (me) up to charge me. Let them come get me because I'm not going out," Alleyne said.
He said the future of the programme will be decided upon by TV6's management and he was ready for his day in court.
Asked if he had any regrets showing the tape, Alleyne said he was satisfied people have been charged and he'd do it again.
Lalla, who described the arrest by the police as an abuse of process, said he spoke with ASP Persad who indicated they were present to "arrest" Alleyne for questioning.
Ian in handcuffs "Oh God dey put Ian in handcuffs and have him on the ground," cried out a man who had climbed onto the gate at the South Quay entrance to Express House to see what was taking place inside. As the crowd in the area heard this they began to pound on the gate shouting, "Leave we Ian Alleyne alone. He is the only one fighting for we poor people." Others climbed on the gate as the crowd grew larger with passers by stopping to ask what was happening. When they heard what was happening they too joined in shouts for his freedom and attempted to push down the steel gate. Then one of the men at the top of the gate shouted they were taking Alleyne to the Charlotte Street entrance and the people ran up the street. Some people tried to grab hold of the plainclothes police officers escorting Alleyne to the police vehicle, while others reached out to Alleyne who was shoved into the vehicle. People tried to follow the vehicle as it drove along Independence Square. —WB

Attorney: An abuse of process
By Donstan Bonn
Story Created: Apr 20, 2012 at 12:40 AM ECT
Story Updated: Apr 20, 2012 at 12:40 AM ECT
Attorney Om Lalla said last night that the arrest of TV6 Crime Watch host Ian Alleyne seems to be an abuse of process.
Speaking on TV6 in a live interview with Samantha John while police waited on Charlotte Street, Port of Spain outside Express House to take Alleyne to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for questioning, Lalla said: "We got notification that the police had an interest in Ian. We later found out that they were here to arrest him.
"I have spoken to a Senior Superintendent who is in charge of the party of police officers, who have indicated that their intention is to arrest Ian in connection with a broadcast that was aired several months ago, and it is with this connection they intend to arrest him as soon as we finish in the studio and take him to CID for the purpose of questioning. It is likely from what we understand that he may be charged later tonight for an offence they have not given particulars on yet."
He stated that he will accompany Alleyne to wherever they intend to take him for questioning and they intend to give the police their full cooperation.
Lalla added that if last night's police presence was in relation to the raid carried out on the CCN compound in connection with a tape showing the rape of a 13-year-old girl, then the expectation was for it to be handled differently as CCN lawyers and Alleyne had indicated their willingness to cooperate and are still prepared to do so.
"In spite of our request that we would meet them at the police station they have refused and the instructions are that he's to be arrested. We will cooperate but again, it does seem to be an abuse of process but we will cooperate as TV6 has done throughout, we will cooperate as we have done in the past and we will continue to do so and we will see what come out of this investigation tonight," Lalla said.
Alleyne said although a lot of people were gunning for him and wanted to embarrass him, he would not be deterred by what transpired last night and people should remember there's a tomorrow.
"This will never stop me. As long as I have breath I'll fight. This is just the price I must pay but I will fight. It wouldn't stop me. This will never stop me so let them try their best," said Alleyne.

BREAKING NEWS - Ian Alleyne arrested
Story Created: Apr 19, 2012 at 9:54 PM ECT
Story Updated: Apr 19, 2012 at 10:18 PM ECT
Popular TV6 “Crime Watch” host Ian Alleyne was tonight arrested by police on the compound of Caribbean Communications Network Ltd (CCN), Independence Square, Port of Spain.
He had just completed the airing of his programme when he was informed that police were on the premises with instructions to arrest him.
Alleyne’s attorney Om Lalla said they received notification that the police had an interest in Ian, but later found out it was their intention to arrest his client.
“In spite of our request that we would meet them at the police station they have refused and the instructions are that he’s to be arrested. We will cooperate but again, it does seem to be an abuse of process”, Lalla said.
He added that if the arrest had anything to do with the airing of a tape showing the rape of a 13-year-old girl on Alleyne’s programme several months ago, they expected the matter to be handled differently as both CCN lawyers and Alleyne have indicated their willingness to cooperate and are still prepared to do so.
Alleyne was handcuffed by members of the Port of Spain Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in the CCN car park and eventually taken away.
A large number of Alleyne’s supporters gathered outside the Charlotte Street entrance to the compound voicing their disapproval.

you see this
in the states he was face down on the floor with a knee in his back for this

[mitsu_chick941]

Granted Ian's measures to attack crime is sometimes out of the ordinary, IMO he is tackling crime more than 'dodohead' Gibbs.

^Not quite.

Not a popular well known TV personality, who poses no threat and isn't a flight risk.....a regular citizen on the other hand, that's another story....Ian shouldn't have resisted though.

I still can't get over the actions of the police, in this matter. All these police just to arrest Ian Alleyne?

This whole situation, is now a big mess, just how trinis like it....there's enough blame to go around, for everyone here.

Somehow, i think this might be the reason for this show of force in his arrest. Not necessarily Gibbs, but the service as a whole, who Ian lambasts on a regular basis, on their performance....i think it's now personal.

[noshownogo]

ways, 5 pages and counting. Take all antics from Ian with a pinch of salt, sensationalism at it's best.

[mitsu_chick941]

The amount of criminals that must be happy now, the one that beat the woman with the gun butt on her head, the deadbeat dad with over 50 thousand in outstanding maintainance and the ones who rob that restuarant and many more i'm sure.

[snypaz]

My thing is this. Yes we have established that what he did concerning the airing of the tape was wrong. Cool. He was taken off the air. They search down the whole of TV6 and God knows where else looking for evidence. It's not even clear if they found it or not. Why let him back on the air? Are you also tryna tell me allyuh had to wait til he's on the air to arrest him? ONE heavily tinted vehicle with 2-3 officers could've done the arrest. Simple and Easy. ALSO... Does Ian Alleyne own TV6? He controls his own content and what he shows? Why was he alone arrested?

All those officers to arrest one unarmed man? Why they don't go raid some high crime areas with that kinda determination?

[ruffnek]

Good questions. Clearly personal matters playing out.


Also, i think the rooting out of 'herb' trees might come up too. Not being an officer of the law, i think he wasn't supposed too.
Just heard on news no charges laid as yet.

[sharkman121]

its not what you do, its how you do it.

To answer one of these questions, a news report this morning did indicate that other members of staff at TV6 may be arrested. But I also have problems with that. How does that get into a news report? Why tell a criminal they may be arrested????

[Bizzare]

Really hypocritical of Ian to resist arrest....
Of all people he should know that he isn't above the law.

Also, Ian needs to do HIS job..... not the job of others. Yes he does a better job than the police, the judge, the lawyer and everybody else, but he needs to remember he is none of those.

It's clear that the way the police arrested him, they only looking for publicity.

[snypaz]

Sexual Offences Act Chapter 11:28 Act 27 of 1986

(1) Before or after a person is accused of an offence under this act, no matter likely to lead members of the public to identify a person as the complainant in relation to that accusation shall either be published in Trinidad and Tobago in a written publication available to the public or be broadcast in Trinidad and Tobago except where on the application of the complaiant, the Court directs that the effect of the restriction is to impose a substantial and unreasonable restriction on the reporting of proceedings and that it is in the public interest to remove the restriction in respect of the applicant.

(2) A person who publishes or broadcasts any matter contrary to subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine of twenty five thousand dollars and to imprisonment for five years

(3) Subsection (2) refers to--

(a) In the case of a publication in a newspaper or periodical, an proprietor, any editor and publisher or the newspaper or periodical;
(b) In the case of any other publication, the person who publishes it; and
(c) in the case of a broadcast a body corporate, which transmits or provides the programme in which the broadcast is made and any person having functions in relation to the programme corresponding to those of an editor of a newspaper.

To put it bluntly... He shouldn't be the only one charged right? Cause I KNOW he has to go through some kind of approval before content reaches on the show. Soooooooo... Why just take him?

Again... I'm making this clear. YES he did something wrong and should he called upon to face the charges. However... the manner in which he was arrested, the way the TTPS handled the situation and Everything that transpired was wrong. He was also wrong to resist arrest. This will be a legal nightmare.
