IN Namibia, the sexual abuse of children is a major issue.
Most frequently, those who sexually abuse children are related to the victim.
This is clear, in the wake of a 10-year-old girl’s alleged rape by her 74-year-old stepfather in the village of Onalukula.
Police were only recently made aware of the event, which took place on March 21st at an undisclosed time in the evening.
“It is alleged that suspect called the victim to his sleeping room and on three different occasions,” said Oshikoto Community Affairs Officer Inspector Ellen Nehale.
Nehale said the suspect who resides in the same house with victim has already been arrested and expected to make his court appearance this week.
Police investigation into the matter continues.
