MOUNT MORIAH, St Ann — A St Ann woman is begging for assistance, following a series of incidents which she said happened to her after she reported a policeman to his colleagues several years ago.

Paula Gayle, a visually-impaired resident of this community, said that the dramatic events, which she described as distressing, started eight years ago when she decided to provide the police with information regarding certain illegal activities that she was aware of.
According to Gayle, who is also known as 'Carol' and 'Fatty', following that report, which yielded no success, she faced abuse from both law enforcers and civilians. When the abuse became "excruciating", the woman said that she filed a report against the police, which, to her, was a "life changer", as since doing that, her life has been agonising.
"Mi a go through hell," the 49-year-old told the Jamaica Observer.
The woman said that she reported the matter to all organisations which she thought would have been able to assist, but there has been no improvement in her situation.
Gayle, who was a vendor before the incident, said that the misfortunes in her life started when the police made her the subject of an investigation after she filed her report.
Soon after, criminals stole her car and several items from her house.
The car was found in St Elizabeth, leading her to believe that it was stolen as part of efforts to get her to leave the area. more
