Police charge ex-political candidate with sex crime

Errington Webster

(CNS): Errington Webster (54) is expected to appear in court today after police confirmed the Bodden Town man has now been charged with four counts of gross indecency. He was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of indecent assault and gross indecency with a minor in connection with a sexually explicit video distributed on social media. Webster was a candidate on the Bodden Town ballot during the 2013 election and had his eye on running for the CUDP in the district next year.

But his political hopes were shattered last week when mobile phone footage that appeared to show the former fire officer and community leader in an indecent video with a teenager was circulated widely on social media. The video is believed to have led to Webster being assaulted by a relative of the minor involved.
