A lawyer representing a police corporal charged with corruption said he would be writing to the commissioner of police to investigate the Anti-Corruption Branch for an excessive use of power.

Sean Kinghorn told the court that the Constitutional rights of his client, Rosalyn Wilson, were infringed upon by policemen from the unit.

The lawyer said subsequent to his client's arrest, she was violated by a doctor, who assaulted her during a body-cavity search.

Collected $5,000

It has been alleged that on February 16, Wilson, who is attached to the Portmore Police Station in St Catherine, collected $5,000 from a motorist who was caught committing a traffic breach.

A report was made to the police, who set up a sting operation and reportedly caught their colleague collecting the money.

Wilson was granted bail in the sum of $40,000 and is to reappear in court on April 7.
