Willy Cruz's Case File Still Being Reviewed By The DPP
Written by CTV3 Publisher Thursday, 02 February 2012 14:42
On December 23, a sixteen year old minor from the Corozal district accused U.D.P Town Councilor Willie Cruz of having sexual intercourse with her against her will. After the report was made the Corozal Police Department launched an investigation and later sent the case file to the Department of Public Prosecutions for advice. The last time CTV3 News spoke to DPP Cheryl Lynn Vidal she told us via phone that she was reviewing the case file after which a decision would be made on whether or not any charges would be levied against Cruz. Today, more than one month after the report was made; the DPP has still not decided whether to charge Cruz. Last we heard was that sometime last week Vidal held separate meetings with both the family of the minor and Willie Cruz. We understand that during the meeting the DPP informed the minor’s parents that she would once again review the case file and then decide what charges, if any, would levied against the U.D.P Town Councilor. CTV3 News understands that while Cruz was detained by Corozal Police at the beginning of the investigation but he was later released.
