Police Probe Viral Video Allegedly Showing Illegal Sexual Act, Warn Against Cyberbullying 

By Admin. Updated 9:03 p.m., Thursday, August 13, 2026, Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4). 

The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) has launched an investigation into a video circulating on social media that allegedly shows two men engaged in what appears to be buggery, an act that remains an offence under St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ Criminal Code.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Force confirmed that the video allegedly involves a serving police officer. It acknowledged that the footage has generated widespread public reaction but stressed that any investigation would be guided by the evidence and the law.

The RSVGPF said while citizens are entitled to hold and lawfully express their personal, moral, cultural and religious views, those beliefs do not give anyone the right to threaten, intimidate, humiliate or harass another person.

The Force said it is particularly concerned by reports that individuals believed to be connected to the video are being targeted on social media, approached in public and subjected to taunts. It described such behaviour as unacceptable and inconsistent with the restraint, respect and neighbourly responsibility expected within Vincentian communities.

According to the police, protecting individuals from cyberbullying and public harassment does not excuse or endorse any conduct under investigation. Rather, it reflects the Force’s responsibility to uphold the law impartially, protect the rights of all persons and ensure that allegations are determined through due process rather than public humiliation.

The RSVGPF emphasised that the conduct allegedly depicted in the video and the reported harassment of those believed to be involved are separate matters, each of which will be assessed objectively and on its own merits.

The Force also urged social media influencers, content creators, page administrators and members of the public not to encourage ridicule, hostility or confrontation. It further advised against sharing the video or publishing material that identifies or targets the persons believed to be involved.

Anyone with information relevant to the investigation, including evidence of threats, cyberbullying or public harassment, is being asked to preserve that material and provide it directly to the police.

The RSVGPF said it will be guided by the evidence and the law and will take whatever action is warranted by the findings of its investigation.
