A 28-year-old man faces charges for the alleged rape of his five-year-old niece, while a 29-year-old has been charged with two counts of rape and one count of sexual assault involving his 15-year-old niece.
These cases were detailed in the September report from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), which revealed that a total of 10 individuals were charged with 25 counts of sexual offenses within that month. The charges included 16 counts of rape, two counts of attempted rape, two counts of indecent assault, and five counts of sexual assault.
Among the 10 victims reported, eight were under the age of 18, with two male and eight female victims. A 46-year-old man has also been charged with two counts of raping his 41-year-old wife.
In a separate incident, a 20-year-old man was charged with four counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, two counts of indecent assault, and one count of sexual assault against his 17-year-old cousin. Additionally, a 29-year-old man was charged with the attempted rape and sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl from his village, while a 20-year-old man was charged with the rape of an 11-year-old girl also from his village.
Two cases were discontinued after the ODPP issued Nolle Prosequi due to a lack of evidence, and the victim could not be contacted or located.
