A 29-year-old man was arrested two days ago for allegedly raping a 16-year-old, Region Six girl.
Investigations revealed that the victim left home for a nearby shop and it is alleged that the suspect came up from behind her and pulled her in some nearby bushes and forcibly committed the act.
As a result, the victim started to scream and a male passerby raised an alarm. The girl was seen and examined medically by a doctor while the suspect was contacted, told of the offence committed, cautioned, arrested, and was placed in custody pending further investigation.
