Mandaue police rescue teen girl
Mandaue police rescued a 16-year-old girl who was allegedly abducted and raped by her ex-boyfriend.
The girl was rescued yesterday afternoon from the house of the grandparents of suspect Richard Sumampong, 19, in barangay Magsiko, San Fernando town, southern Cebu.
Sumampong was arrested in the operation and will be charged with abduction and three counts of rape, said police.
