A 62-year-old man has been placed on probation for three years after having been found guilty of sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl in a women’s toilet. The man, a Gozitan resident of Ghajnsielem who is receiving psychiatric treatment, was charged with corruption of a minor and nonconsensual sexual acts. The incident happened on 3rd November 2019, and the man was initially found not guilty on both charges.
The attorney however appealed and requested for a change of sentence after the evidence resulted in finding out the incident happened in Xewkija playground when the girl was playing on the swing. Asking her to go near him, the man led her to the women’s toilet. There, the man hugged her, bit her neck and touched her before asking for a kiss, with the girl denying and running out to get help from her mother. The man asked not to be touched after being confronted by the mother, saying he is ‘disabled’. He was arrested on site by police.
