A 39-year-old Senior Police Constable in Tonga has been suspended from duty on Monday 12 September 2016 while allegations of serious misconduct against him were investigated.
A statement from Tongan Police described the case as “serious breach of the Tonga Police Code of
Conduct”.
“An Investigation is underway into the incident surrounding the Officer’s alleged breach of conduct, which involves a complaint from an 18 year old school girl.
“This is a serious allegation and bad conduct will not be accepted,” says Commissioner of Police Stephen Caldwell.
He is suspended without pay until further notice.

We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
