Girl, 12, abducted and gang raped

SOUTHERN Division police have launched a massive man-hunt for two men who on Monday abducted a 12-year-old girl and took turns raping her.

According to reports, around 11 am, the female student was walking along the Southern Main Road, Claxton Bay to visit a friend. A white car pulled along side the child and a man alighted from the vehicle, grabbed the child and dragged her into the backseat. The car then sped off. The child was reportedly taken to a lonely area in the Claxton Bay area where the men took turns raping her. After the assault, the child was ordered to dress and the men dropped her off at a parlour.  The child subsequently made her way home and told her parents what had happened. A report was made to St Margaret’s police station. The child was taken to a health facility where the District Medical Officer (DMO) medically examined her and confirmed to police that she had been sexually assaulted. Up to late yesterday, no arrests had been made and officers from the St Margaret’s police station are continuing investigations.
