A security officer was lured to a lonely area by a woman he met over social media where he was ambushed by armed men who robbed, beat and sexually assaulted him.

The incident took place on Sunday in Freeport.

The 35-year-old Penal man told police that he met a woman over social media a few months ago. She gave her name as Kimberly. They arranged to meet in Freeport on Sunday night at Tewarie Circular South. When he got there around 10.30 pm he met Kimberly who got into his Mitshubishi wagon. On her instructions, he reversed into a nearby track and parked.

He told police he was approached by two men, one armed with a firearm and a baseball bat, and the other with a cutlass. Kimberly opened the door and walked away. The suspects then proceeded to beat and tie him up. A third suspect then joined them. The suspects ordered the man to suck their toes and they then tried to insert their toes into his rectum.

He was robbed of a $6,000 laptop, $1,000 cash and an $800 cellphone. The security officer eventually managed to escape and ran to a nearby house where he called the police.

Freeport police are investigating.
