A 7-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped by her 60-year-old stepfather and two male relatives, has contracted sexually transmitted diseases.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Mohale Ramatseba, says the three men have been arrested. The other two male relatives are aged 29 and 30.
According to Ramatseba, the abuse began in January this year and was uncovered last Friday.
“It has also been
discovered by the doctor who performed a medical examination on the girl, that she has been infected with sexually transmitted diseases,” Ramatseba said.
The little girl has been moved to a place of safety.
