The probe into the pregnancy of a 12-year-old girl has unearthed further allegations of rape and incest against a 17-year-old suspect.
Investigators who went to the boy’s home last week were told that he twice penetrated his 12-year-old sister and it was unsure whether he attempted to attack his 14-year-old sister who is deaf and mute.
The suspect was not interviewed up to yesterday. He was not around when officers visited his home last Saturday.
The suspect along with two of his friends, ages 19 and 20, was already being investigated for having sex with the girl earlier this year. Police said the victim is his cousin. It is not yet known who is the father of the victim’s unborn child.
In the latest development, officers went to the suspect’s home following the fresh allegations. The girls, ages 10, 12 and 14, did not initially want to speak to the police.
It was while talking to a doctor at the district health facility that the 10-year-old revealed she saw her brother having sex with her 12-year-old sister. The three girls were examined and the doctor found signs of penetration only in the 12-year-old, who revealed her brother tried to rape her twice but did not fully penetrate her.
The matter is being investigated by the police’s Child Protection Unit and has been reported to the Children’s Authority for further action.
