Saturday, March 10, 2007 Man sued for raping 4-year-old girl By Rhodamae M. Hernandez Reporter
RAPE charges have been filed against a man accused of raping a four-year-old girl inside a toilet at St. Jude Village in Buhangin, Davao City early this month.
Prosecutor Shahruddin Roberto Sencio Jr. recommended the filing of charges based on the complaint filed by Weng (not her real name), 4.
In an affidavit, Weng said that in the afternoon of March 4, they were inside the house to celebrate her mother's birthday. After a while, she claimed that she went out of the house to urinate.
She said that when she was about to approach the toilet, their neighbor, later identified as the suspect, dragged her inside.
She said she was forced to sit on the toilet bowl, while the suspect removed his pants and underwear. The suspect then undressed and raped her.
She then pushed the suspect and told him it was painful. She claimed the suspect stopped and put on her clothes.
They then went outside the toilet and he told her not to tell anybody about the incident.
The victim then told her mother, resulting in the filing of the case. No bail was recommended for the respondent.
