MONROVIA, February 25 (LINA) - An 89-year-old man has been arrested and jailed at the Monrovia Central Prison for allegedly raping an eight-year-old girl in the Monrovia suburb of Sinkor.
Police arrested Victor Tah, a resident of the Sinkor Old Road, on February 21 following a complaint by the girl’s parents, according to a police charge sheet.
The charge sheet indicated that Tah, who lives in the same house with the victim’s parents, allegedly raped the little girl while her parents were away.
