Fmr Police Officer Joel Gumbs guilty of assaulting daughter
The two year old incident stemmed from his daughter confronting a woman who she alleged was having an 'affair' with her father.
According to the facts presented to the court, it was at their family home in Fat Hog's Bay that Gumbs, who was a member of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) at the time, approached his daughter about confronting the woman and describing her as a "whore".
The daughter did not deny and an exchange of words took place between her and her dad about the incident. It was stated that during the confrontation Gumbs threatened to take a certain course of action against his daughter, he also physically abused her by pushing and hitting her and subsequently threw her clothing out of the family house.
The daughter reported the matter to the RVIPF and when confronted he told the investigating police officers that his daughter disrespected him.
Gumbs will be sentenced for the offence when he returns to court on December 13, 2016.
