The stepfather of the schoolgirl who was violently attacked at South East Port of Spain SeconĀdary School last Tuesday has linked the incident to a dispute with another relativeāhis other daughter.
The Sunday Express interviewed the stepfather of the Form Four student who was the victim of the assault which was captured on a video that has since gone viral on social media.
The stepfather, a police officer who did not want to be identified, said he was disappointed with how things escalated between his daughter and stepdaughter.
He said he has been estranged from his daughter and her mother for some time.
However, his stepdaughter lives with him, and they share a close relationship.
He said he tried over the years to build a relationship with his daughter, who showed signs of rebellious behavior early on; however, it was impossible because of the strained relationship between himself and her mother.
āI am deeply disappointed with how things escalated. This could have been avoided if her mother had corrected her years ago. Parents need to stop encouraging rebellious behavior. And fathers, we need to step up and be more present in our childrenās lives,ā he said.

drive trafficking surge in T&T
Hours after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar warned of a surge in human and drug traffickingāfuelled by Venezuelan nationals and involving local gang membersāpolice uncovered a trafficking ring in Tunapuna, rescuing 12 women, including three victims. It was confirmation of what the Counter Trafficking Unit (CTU) has been tracking for years: a growing, organised web of exploitation stretching from Trinidad to Colombia, fed by desperation, corruption, and porous borders.
The CTU rescued 102 human trafficking victims in T&T between 2013 and 2022. In 2019, the highest number of victims rescued was 40. The lowest was two in 2022.
These figures were contained in the CTUās 2022 Trafficking in Persons report, which was laid in Parliament last November.
Of the 102 cases, 63 people were charged with various offenses arising from investigations into the exploitation of victims over these ten years. At least 30 of the victims were minors, with six being under the age of 15.
Since 2013, nine of the accused have been committed to stand trial at the High Court. Seven matters were dismissed, two accused were killed, and one person pleaded guilty to immigration-related offenses in aiding and abetting a victim to enter the country illegally.
PM highlights trafficking surge in the South
On Thursday, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar expressed concerns over a spike in drugs and human trafficking, mainly in the Southwest and Southern areas of Trinidad.
āThereās an increase in female traffickers, drug and human trafficking. Let me make it clear, some Venezuelan women are (the) main persons who run the human trafficking rings,ā she told reporters during a press conference.
Persad-Bissessar gave no data on the increase.
She also disclosed that members of the Venezuelan community were escorting Trinidadian gang members from Trinidad to Venezuela and then Colombia to do direct illegal business with cocaine producers.
The Prime Minister pointed out, āSome Trinidadian gangs are now cutting out the middlemen. They are going straight to Colombian producers facilitated by those in Venezuela who have been welcomed into this country. A lot of Venezuelans identified in drug trafficking and human trafficking have registration documents.ā
She said they have been residing on our shores legally and duping the system.
Last week, the Venezuelan Justice Minister Diosdado Cabello alleged on his programme Con El Mazo Dando that a Trinidadian national, who he named āGuis Kendell Jaromeā, had been captured while travelling to Venezuela with a group labelled āterroristsā in an attempt to destabilise their government.
This triggered Persad-Bissessar to warn Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro a day later to stay out of T&Tās waters or they would be met with deadly force.
On Friday, the Venezuelan Government called on Persad-Bissesar to tone down her deadly force rhetoric against their country.
A day after the PMās revelation, the police uncovered a major human trafficking ring at St Vincent Street, Tunapuna.
A release from the Ministry of Homeland Security on Friday stated that the CTU and the T&T Police Service conducted an exercise dubbed āOperation G-Rideāāa six-month operation that culminated in the discovery of 12 females between the ages of 18 and 26. A total of 17 people were found, 16 of whom are Venezuelans. Three of the females were victims of trafficking.
Inside the hierarchy: The role of āmother harlotsā
Criminologist Daurius Figueira said that for years, Venezuelan women have been key players behind T&Tās human trafficking ring. These women, he said, are referred to as āmother harlotsā, female enforcers, or overseers within the trafficking ring.
The Venezuelan women, it has been reported, oversee younger girls, handle movement logistics, and manage captivity sites. At the top of the trafficking ring, Figueira said, would be the head honcho.
He, in turn, would give directives to his second-in-command, who would instruct the mother harlots on where to keep the girls captive and when to transport them to their clients.
Human trafficking, he said, is a booming billion-dollar industry, fuelled by a demand for cheap labor, services, and commercial sex. āSo, from the beginning of the trade in Trinidad, these Venezuelan women have always been key and central to the business. So the Prime Minister is correct.ā
The drug route:
Direct to Colombia
On the PMās claim that Venezuelans have escorted Trinidadian gang members to Colombia to do business with cocaine producers, Figueira said the practice isnāt newābut itās grown significantly itinflux of undocumented Venezuelans. Over time, he said, gang members learned Spanish, partnered with migrants, and invested in boats to support trafficking operations.
āThey are called cash mules. They deliver US dollars to the Don or Capo (drug lord) for items they want.ā Once the payments are made, the merchandise passes through porous borders and is delivered.
Figueira criticised the stateās weak enforcement, saying the national security system is ānot fit for purposeā and focused on the wrong targets.
Activists want more transparency, faster justice
Venezuelan activist Sofia Figueroa-Leon assumed the PM raised the issue based on intelligence received. However, she said citizens deserve full transparency about how many victims have been rescued and how many perpetrators have been charged.
āFor the public to know, she (PM) needs to release the facts because it will look very bad on her and her administration if they repeat the same errors the past administration did.ā
She said even statistics on Venezuelans being charged, convicted, jailed, and deported have been lacking.
Social activist Yesenia Gonzales said some Venezuelan women involved in the ring were victims themselves, forced into illegal activity by criminal networks with links to officials.
āThey are forced to come in illegally by Venezuelan criminals who have connections with people in high authority. This is something I am not making up. This was told by victims who escaped from the crimes committed against them.ā
Gonzales described how some women promote girls as sex slaves in bars and nightclubs, with private boats used to transport victims. Victims who resist are raped, beaten, and tortured.
āThe sad part about it is that the criminals who are charged with these crimes get bail, and the matter takes so long in court. So the victims get fed up and leave Trinidad.ā
Coordinator of the La Romain Migrant Support Group, Angie Ramnarine, said she recently dealt with an alleged trafficking case involving āyoung gullible girlsā exploited after seeking work to support families back home.
Ramnarine said she had no reason to doubt that Venezuelans have escorted Trinidadian gang members to Colombia for illicit activities.
During the 2019 Venezuelan registration process, she said gang members from Tucupita were seen filling out forms for young girls. These criminals are known as āmalandrosā.
She criticised the Peopleās National Movement governmentās lack of a structured migrant policy, saying it led to confusion and exploitation.
Call for clarity from National Security
Attorney Criston Williams, who has represented several trafficking victims, said the Prime Ministerās claims point to serious regional security risks.
āAs the head of the National Security Council, there must be some documented basis for the PM to come to that conclusion.ā
He called on the government to table in Parliament the most recent Counter Trafficking and Strategic Services Agency reports, which would offer a clearer picture of the current landscape of human, gun, and drug trafficking.
Guardian Media reached out to former national security minister Marvin Gonzales, but he did not respond up too late yesterday.
