CEBU, Philippines - A 40 year old man was arrested after he was accused of raping a 3-year-old girl at the north reclamation area last Christmas.
Arvin Jumawan, 40, jobless, who resided at the lane divider at C. D. Ceno Street at the reclamation area, was accused by the girl who lives near a gutter in the area.
She claimed Jumawan took her to the north reclamation area where she was raped Tuesday.
SPO3 Marcos Noval Jr., one of the arresting officers, said the girl’s father began looking for her daughter when he noticed her absence.
The father leaves the girl and her elder sister to the care of his new live-in partner while he sells cigarettes.
A friend told the father he had seen his daughter at a grassy area crying.
The girl claimed Jumawan raped her.
Jumawan is now detained at the Subangdaku police station. (FREEMAN)
