Police have arrested a 64-year-old man from the Naththandiya area over
allegations of sexually molesting a 15-year-old girl, police reported.
The crime had taken place on December 9, 2013 while it was only reported
to the police on February 3 this year.
The girl who was abused was taken to the Marawila hospital for
inspection while doctors confirmed in a report issued on February 18 that she
had been molested.
The 64-year-old in question was a neighbour of the victim while the girl
and her mother had visited the man’s house on the day of the incident. Although
the mother had returned home, the daughter had remained at the suspect’s house when
he had molested her, initial investigations uncovered.
The suspect will be produced before the Marawila District Court.
