Jamaica police are on the hunt for a man who is accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl
The Hanover Police and a team from the Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse are on the hunt for a man who allegedly raped or attempted to rape a 12-year-old girl in Green Island in the parish.
According to the report received by the police, the child was sent to her grandfather's house to complete her school work online, as the child does not have the internet at home. She left her grandfather's house at noon, as per usual, to have lunch at home, but did not arrive there.
When she did not arrive home for lunch, her mother became concerned and called her daughter's cell phone but did not receive an answer. She then called the child's grandfather, who reported that the child had left his house for lunch at home. The concerned mother then left her home in search of her daughter.
When the woman reached an undisclosed location, the police said she reported hearing strange sounds from an abandoned building. She went to investigate and found her daughter lying on the ground on her back, with her dress pulled up, her underwear removed, and the accused man, who was naked, between her legs.
The shocked mother called out the name of the accused and raised the alarm. He fled.
The child was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Investigators subsequently launched a search for the accused man.
Several residents responded to the woman's cries. They assisted her in gathering the accused man's clothing and other personal belongings, including his cell phone, which they turned over to the Green Island Police. A report was also made about the incident.
