On May 13, this year, at about 1400 hours, Amorin asked the victim’s brother to call the victim for him but Amorin warned him not to inform the victim’s mother.

The victim’s brother however alerted the complainant and when the victim was quizzed she informed her mother about the sexual bout the accused had subjected her to.

A report was made to the Police and accused person was grabbed but he denied the offence.
