– but alleged molester still walks free
It was just a few weeks ago that a dying nine-year-old girl alleged that a relative had molested her and
three other siblings, and a community is up in arms because the alleged culprit is still walking free.
The girl was admitted to hospital for suspected poisoning and succumbed shortly after.
However, before passing away, she claimed that a relative had sexually molested her and three sisters, two of whom were even younger than her.
This publication was told that shortly after her death, medical officials examined the other children and
found evidence of sexual molestation.
The matter was reported to the police as well as Welfare officials.
According to reports, the children have since identified the alleged perpetrator as a close relative.
Meanwhile, residents of the community where the children reside are upset that no action has been taken to apprehend the suspect.
Reports are that the alleged culprit still walks around the community a free man.
A senior official in the Child Protection Agency confirmed that the matter was brought to the Agency’s attention and investigations are ongoing.
“There is only so much we can do, we cannot go and arrest persons we are not allowed to do that, we can do only up to a point” an official commented.
But this response is not going down well with concerned residents who feel that with the new Sexually Offences Act, prosecution in these matters would be expedited.
Where is the BETTER MANAGEMENT/RENEGOTIATION OF THE OIL CONTRACTS you promised Jagdeo?
