The High Court on Sunday, slapped a 12 day remand period for the 19-year-old alleged to have sexually abused two minors.
According to Police, they received a report of a man sexually abusing two children, a six-year-old and an eight-year-old, over the course of four days.
Police detained the man in reclaimed suburb Hulhumale', following a tip that an individual was being attacked and paraded around in an apparent attempt to shame the individual and publicize the alleged crime.
A video now-circulating on social media depicts the accused man confessing to his actions. In the footage, the man states that one of the boys was scratched by fingernails and hit by a bolster pillow.
