Earlier, the prosecutor, Mr Donjour Perezi, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on July 31, at his residence, when he invited the victim to his room on the pretext of sending her on an errand, but instead forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.
He said that the defendant threatened to harm her if she told anybody, but that, “The girl, however, told her mother and the case was reported to the police.” (NAN)
