Investigators from the Attorney General\u2019s Investigation Unit, accompanied by special agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrested yesterday morning a police officer who allegedly sexually assaulted a minor girl. <\/p>\n
Multiple sources disclosed that Police Officer 3 Jessie Concepcion was served with an arrest warrant at the Department of Public Safety\u2019s impounding lot in Lower Base at 10:01am. <\/p>\n
Sources also revealed that an arrest warrant was also issued against a former ranking DPS official related to Concepcion\u2019s case. Saipan Tribune opted to withhold the name of the defendant as he is reportedly off-island.<\/p>\n
Sources said Concepcion was arrested for sexual assault of a minor in the second degree involving a then-15-year-old girl.<\/p>\n
Sources said the charges against Concepcion and the former DPS official are connected to the allegations against Raymond B. Roberto.<\/p>\n
In September 2014, Roberto, a former acting director of the CNMI Division of Fish and Wildlife, was acquitted by a federal jury of charges that he enticed three minor girls to engage in prostitution and tampered with a witness while he was in jail.<\/p>\n
A bail hearing in the Superior Court is expected to commence today, Friday, in the case against Concepcion. <\/p>\n
Sources said Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo issued the two warrants of arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
