AT LEAST three minors were accused of molesting a 10-year-old girl in Barangay Gusa, Cagayan de Oro City.
In a radio interview, the grandfather of the victim said the three minors are aged 13, 12, and 11 who are their neighbors.
Based on the account of the victim, she said it was the 13-year-old who first raped her last November 5.
She said the suspect threatened her and told her not to tell anybody about the incident.
The victim said the two other minors took turns in molesting her a few days after.
“My granddaughter was threatened by the minors. She was really in trauma. But fortunately, she gained courage to tell us what happened,” the victim’s grandfather said.
He said they would file charges against the three minors although he is aware of a law that exempts minors from criminal liabilities.
Police authorities in Agora, Lapasan said, however, that the parents did not report the incident as of Thursday.
The mother of the 13-year-old suspect admitted, though, that she is aware of the crime committed by her son.
She said personnel from the Department of Social Welfare and Development already investigated the incident. (ALR)
