The Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) on Wednesday charged Mohamed Shazleef from Kalaidhoo in Laamu atoll, with rape and making child pornography. He was found guilty of both charges, each carrying a 20-year sentence. The victim was a 17-year-old girl.
Cases involving children are investigated by the police’s Family and Child Protection unit, along with the local policing command where the crime took place.
