Apr 4 2023

A 52 year old was charged on Tuesday for groping and harassing his 12 year old daughter.

The Malta Independent revealed that Inspector Joseph Busuttil told the court that the girl had contacted the Domestic Violence Unit to report her father for touching her inappropriately for the past year.

The inspector said how the girl’s mother occasionally told the defendant to stop groping the young girl’s chest and buttocks.

However, the father, whose name was not published, said that he had only been joking with his daughter and did not mean it in a sexual way. The man was charged with performing acts of a sexual nature without consent.

Despite no request for bail being made, the man still pleaded not guilty.
