A 13 year-old living on Gahdhoo in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll was last week sexually assaulted in an abandoned home on the island after being drugged and abducted, police have said.
Minivan News understands that the 13 year-old is not originally from Gahdhoo, but had been living with relatives at the time of the attack.
The attack, which occurred on December 26, is the third suspected case of sexual abuse of a minor to have been reported over the last week.
Police Spokesperson Sub-Inspector Hassan Haneef confirmed today that two 16 year-old males and an 18 year-old man had been arrested on December 27 in connection with the alleged rape. However, he could not specify further details on the case as investigations were continuing.
