Eight-year-old girl raped on her way to church in St Thomas Jamaica
An eight-year-old girl of a St Thomas address was allegedly abducted and raped by a lone man on Saturday.
According to reports, the child walked to church with her cousin along a dirt road in the parish when the attacker pounced on them.
After ordering them into bushes, the man tied the family member's hands and forced the eight-year-old to remove her clothes, and proceeded to perform lewd sexual acts.
Child sexual assault has been a source of major concern among Jamaica’s national security and child welfare organizations, especially since COVID-19 restrictions shut off readily available outlets for reporting crimes and the alerting of suspicious behaviour.
A report was made to the police, and doctors examined her.
The suspect was later apprehended and placed into custody.
The Morant Bay police are carrying out investigations.
