Police have arrested a man for alleged sexual abuse of a minor late last night.
Sources have confirmed that the suspect had sexually abused a 14-year-old girl who is related to him.
Speaking to "The Press", a police media official said that the Police were investigating such a case of sexual abuse against a minor.
But police did not give any details of the suspect or any other information regarding the case.
In the past few months, Police have been prioritizing the crimes committed against minors and children with sexual crimes given special importance.
Police have also been working to protect the identity of victims of such heinous crimes and have withheld information about the victim’s island or atoll or where the crimes happened in multiple cases.
Investigations and court procedures against alleged child abusers have been fast-tracked on several occasions with police adamant on revealing the identities of the suspects.
