(Trinidad and Tobago) - A 29-year-old Gay man has been awarded $28,400 as compensation for being kept naked at a police station for over three hours while police officers ridiculed him about the size of his penis. Judgment on behalf of the Ste Madeleine man was delivered in the San Fernando High Court yesterday by Justice Shafeyei Shah who ruled that the man's arrest on July 24, 2000 was unlawful. The man said he and his partner were walking past the Princes Town Police Station around 4.30 p.m. on July 24, 2000, when he was arrested by two police officers and led into a prison cell. He was then subjected to degrading treatment.
