This time, the allegation is serious indecency against a 10-year-old girl.
Reports say that, on October 5, the child’s father took her to the Special Victims Unit (SVU) and reported that she had been sexually assaulted by a known adult male.
The alleged offence reportedly occurred between September 20 and 30 this year.
Over the past four weeks, there have been weekly allegations of incidents involving minors under the age of 12, with two reportedly involving an eight-year-old and a nine-year-old, respectively.
Residents are expressing great concern and wondering why adult men are preying on such young children.
While the penalty for raping a child under the age of 12 could be life imprisonment, no offender has ever been subjected to this sentence.
But some citizens are suggesting that the penalties related to other sexual encounters with under-aged children should be drastically increased, since these incidents, including rape, often have psychological effects on the victims and leave them scarred for life.

This is very serious, Government ,and the law enforcement officers need to put a system in place to deal with those men are are molesting little children, whether it be a Boy or girl…
Law enforcement officers don’t make it draft laws… politicians do. The judiciary has the power and authority to pass sentences… it’s on the books. Those Big stones, tuff men need to be given the maximum sentences. Some of them are serial rapist and our children need to be protected at any cost.
