MAN NABBED FOR RAPE
A MAN was arrested Monday morning for allegedly raping the niece of his wife several times in Tudela town off Camotes Island, Cebu.
Complaints for violation of Republic Act 7610, a law protecting children against abuse, exploitation and discrimination were filed yesterday against the suspect.
The victim, a special child, was left by her mother alone in their house when she went to the market early morning of Monday.
When the mother arrived, she noticed that her daughter was not home.
She looked for the child and saw her went out of her uncle’s house. This made the mother believe that her child was abused.
The girl then revealed that she has been abused by her uncle several times for more than a year but she did not inform her mother because her uncle threatened to harm her.
The mother immediately reported the incident to the police who arrested the suspect aboard a boat bound for Danao City. /Correspondent Christine Emily L. Pantaleon
