A case of incest reported in Xiabe Village in Corozal

Molestation of minors has become increasingly prevalent, but it never ceases to invoke outrage and horror. Tonight there is a shocking claim of incest of a thirteen year old girl in the Corozal district. The minor visited the Corozal Police Station in the company of her mother to report the matter. According to reports, the child was visiting her father on Monday; he lives in the village of Xaibe, and later that day the mother arrived to pick her up. She claims that when she entered the home, she found the young girl, apparently intoxicated, lying in her father’s bedroom without her skirt and underwear. She took the child to the doctor who confirmed that the minor had been carnally known. That is shocking enough, but what is even worse is that the child claimed that her father had been sexually abusing her since the age of six. Police have detained the father pending charges of incest.
