C&W employee returns; to face court next week CABLE AND Wireless Jamaica employee, Suzette Gibson, has been served with a summons to appear in court next week to answer a charge of tampering with the works of the telecom company. The charge against her arose out of a ruling made by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Kent Pantry, in relation to the investigations into the illegal wire-tapping of the phones of public officers. On August 3, the DPP ruled that Miss Gibson, her co-worker Devon Francis and Roderick McGregor, the former head of a civilian intelligence unit which conducted the wire-tapping, be charged with tampering with the works of Cable and Wireless, it being a public utility. Mr. Pantry said they should be charged under section 3(1) (b) of the Public Utilities Protection Act. Francis and Gibson are to be charged for using the works in a manner inconsistent with the expressed or implied authority of Cable and Wireless, under section 4(b) of the same Act. Miss Gibson, a customer service clerk at C&W's Pavilion Plaza branch on Constant Spring Road, St. Andrew, returned to the island on Monday after being on vacation in the United States. She is booked to appear in the Half-Way Tree Court. Francis was taken before court last week. He was represented by attorney-at-law, Garth Little. The matter was put off until September 13 when he is to return to court. The third man, Roderick McGregor, is still off the island.
