'Super Cop' found guilty of indecent assault
Callwood is to return to court for sentencing on February 6, 2014.
The court heard evidence from both the prosecution and defence over the past two weeks after Callwood pleaded not guilty to the offence which allegedly occurred sometime between late November and the end of December 2012.
The Virtual Complainant (VC), who is a Maintenance supervisor with the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force [RVIPF] said, “I feel a stinging blow… ‘bam’, on my testicles,” before testifying before the court that he then asked, “Callwood, what the heck you doing?”
According to the VC, his body froze for some time after the defendant grabbed his private parts and pulled on it and he was left in pain for approximately five minutes.
The witness then testified that Callwood responded, “I would do it again,” before walking off in the direction of another worker who was nearby in the shed area at the Road Town Police Station.
The VC told the Court that Callwood then allegedly told the nearby worker, “I want a piece of you, you are more tender.”
Callwood, who vehemently denied the allegations upon taking the stand, told the court that he was never in the vicinity of the shed at the Station during the time the incident allegedly occurred.
Further, the court heard from a defence witness that the prosecution’s witnesses allegedly conspired to get their dates ‘straight’ before an investigation was launched against the defendant with the RVIPF.
According to the witness, the VC in the matter allegedly stated, “I’m gonna shoot that [expletive] policeman. I must shoot that [expletive].” Before one of his colleagues allegedly asked who had troubled him.
The VC allegedly replied, “That [expletive] Police boy Callwood. On Friday [February 1, 2013] he pulled me over on Joe’s Hill Road and disrespected me in front of my wife.”
“I must shoot that [explective]. This boy always [expletive] around me,” the VC allegedly added. “Last week he pulled me over by LIME in town and I must do something to him. I must fix him because this is harassment.”
The witness said he spent about 15 minutes at the gas pump re-fuelling vehicles before going near the shed where the alleged incident occurred and overheard the three Crown witnesses discussing dates.
The VC, he reported, allegedly said, “We have to get this thing right, all of us have to say the same thing.”
During his evidence, Callwood denied giving the VC a ticket when he was pulled over by the LIME building in Road Town even though he was not in possession of his licence at the time. Callwood testified that the issue of whether the VC had a valid driver’s licence could be confirmed through the RVIPF’s database.

God will see you through.
“Beyond a Reasonable Doubt “
The standard that must be met by the prosecution's evidence in a criminal prosecution: that no other logical explanation can be derived from the facts except that the defendant committed the crime, thereby overcoming the presumption that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
If the jurors or judge have no doubt as to the defendant's guilt, or if their only doubts are unreasonable doubts, then the prosecutor has proven the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and the defendant should be pronounced guilty.
The term connotes that evidence establishes a particular point to a moral certainty and that it is beyond dispute that any reasonable alternative is possible. It does not mean that no doubt exists as to the accused's guilt, but only that no Reasonable Doubt is possible from the evidence presented.
