Elias’ ‘legal matter’ carries penalty, on conviction, of life imprisonment
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) revealed yesterday that 84-year-old businessman Emile Elias, a former TSTT chairman and Family Planning Association president, was charged on 10 March with one count of sexual penetration and one count of sexual grooming in the alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl.
Elias, through public relations agency Ample, described the criminal case as ‘a current legal matter’ and ‘completely refutes’ the allegations ‘in the strongest possible terms’.

To be clear, this ‘legal matter’ is one that the laws of Trinidad and Tobago take very seriously. The Children’s Act of Trinidad and Tobago states, under section 18, ‘a person who sexually penetrates a child commits an offence and is liable on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life.’
MAJORITY State-owned telecommunications provider, TSTT, is undertaking a âlimited deploymentâ of 5G at the Phoenix Park Industrial Estate in central Trinidad, but is not yet ready to roll out mobile 5G nationally, according to the local telecommunication providerâs chief executive, Lisa Agard.
In her first major interview since her acting appointment as CEO effective October 1, 2020, following the resignation of Ronald Walcot, Agard said the 5G deployment at the Phoenix Park Industrial Estate is part of the 145-acre siteâs development, which is being touted as one of Chinaâs first Belt and Road initiatives in the Caribbean.
TSTTâs chief financial officer, Shiva Ramnarine and its general manager of shared services, Gerard Cooper, were part of the interview with Agard.
