A 52-year-old man has been arrested for sexually molesting a nine-year-old mentally challenged girl at Okadhiya village in the Onyaanya constituency.
In a crime bulletin issued on Sunday by NamPol Public Relation Division Kauna Shikwambi said the incident occurred at midnight on Friday.
“It is alleged that he entered the sleeping room where the mentally challenged victim was sleeping and had sexual intercourse with her,” she said.
Shikwambi further alleged that the victim was in the sleeping room together with the 9-year-old boy, who ran out of the room to wake up the victim’s father and informed him of the man in their sleeping room.
However, she said that when the victim’s father came, he found the suspect already gone, but was later arrested.
He is expected to appear before Ondangwa Magistrate court on Monday.
