Elias’ ‘legal matter’ carries penalty, on conviction, of life imprisonment
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) revealed yesterday that 84-year-old businessman Emile Elias, a former TSTT chairman and Family Planning Association president, was charged on 10 March with one count of sexual penetration and one count of sexual grooming in the alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl.
Elias, through public relations agency Ample, described the criminal case as ‘a current legal matter’ and ‘completely refutes’ the allegations ‘in the strongest possible terms’.

To be clear, this ‘legal matter’ is one that the laws of Trinidad and Tobago take very seriously. The Children’s Act of Trinidad and Tobago states, under section 18, ‘a person who sexually penetrates a child commits an offence and is liable on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life.’
