A 67-year-old local will appear again on September 18 after being charged recently in the Magistrate’s Court with sexually assaulting a seven-year-old girl.
No plea was taken from the defendant at the mention of the case last week for the charge alleging him of performing sexual acts on the minor girl at a hut near Tamu Selera in the capital on August 30. The charge carries a penalty of a maximum of five years’ jail with whipping.
Senior Magistrate Harnita Zelda Skinner presided over the case. – Fadley Faisal
