Main Stories

A 55-YEAR-OLD man was charged in the Waigani Committal Court yesterday with raping and molesting a nine-year-old girl.
The girl’s father is related to the man.
Magistrate Danny Wakikura read the charges, remanded the accused and adjourned hearing to July 22 for mention. The man often visits the girl’s family and would stay overnight in their house in Port Moresby.
It was alleged that the man started abusing the girl sometime last year.
The man was charged with persistent abuse, rape and molestation of the girl between last Jan 1 and Feb 25 last year.
He was alleged to have abused her on numerous occasions, but the girl could not recall the exact number of times she was abused.
The alleged abuses happened during the day in the man’s room (storeroom).
It was also alleged that the man had raped her once sometime between Jan 1 and Feb 25 last year, before the girl’s birthday (on Feb 26).
The girl also alleged that between last Oct 1 and 30, when the man walked into the family room where the girl was playing, he removed his trousers and raped her.
The girl recalled the months because she has a calendar given to her by her father.
The alleged abuses came to light on April 24 after the girl’s mother had a conversation with her, asking her if anyone had touched her private parts or sexually abused her.

  • The father ad mother knew all along this abuse was happening right under their noses and kept quite until the 55 year old asshole relative could no longer sustain their demands. It stinks.

  • Please enough of this kind of inhuman attitude. Just kill him instantly or sentence him for life. Don’t have mercy on him and others who commit similar crime.
