The Culprit Gives Up Himself

LETTER TO THE EDITOR the culprit gives up himself

Dear Editor,

I have been following your live My2Cents on Facebook and I applaud your outcry on the topic of sexual harassment on the workplace and the bravery of the lady Ms. Nicole James that reacted to go public with her ordeal and her open petition to the Parliament of Sint Maarten and the Government of Sint Maarten with the request to put policies in place that addresses this matter. She also addressed the Integrity Chamber. Rightly so.

It is very disturbing to hear about this issue playing within the Police Force and within a department of VSA Read more
