Girl accuses dad of rape

A man reportedly raped his 12-year-old daughter inside their house in Carcar town last Saturday night, but the victim only reported the incident to the police yesterday morning with her uncle.

PO3 Zacarias Cabaluna of the Carcar police station yesterday told The FREEMAN that the victim and her uncle told police that the rape happened while her father was under the influence of liquor.

The man was already detained after the victim's uncle brought him to the police station. Appropriate charges are now being prepared against him.

Cabaluna said the victim was referred to the Carcar municipal office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development for custody.

PO1 Ruby Molo and PO1 Rowena Santillan of the Women's Desk of the Carcar Police Station also brought the girl to the Don Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center for medical examination. - Norvie S. Misa/LPM
