The abduction and rape of a four year old girl allegedly by a 53 year old man in St. Ann, has sparked anger and grief among residents in sections of the parish.
The man, a farmer from Dunnsville, St Ann remains in police custody and is expected to be charged.
The incident happened Friday night but investigators have reportedly been tight-lipped about the matter.
Its reported that the girl was snatched from Ocho Rios sometime after 7p.m. on Friday.
She was later seen by a motorist walking naked along the Dunnsville main road, near 11:00 p.m. and was taken to hospital and the police notified.
Inspector Howard Simmonds of the Ocho Rios police said the child’s mother left her and an infant with a male family friend and went to the Ocho Rios market.
When she returned about 45 minutes later the child could not be found.
A search was launched and a report made to the Ocho Rios police who say a preliminary examination revealed that the child was sexually molested.
She remains in hospital under observation.
The police said bruises found on the child’s body were not consistent with beating as some persons suggested but seemed to have been inflicted during the assault.
Inspector Simmonds said the suspect was picked up after information reached the police that the girl was seen with him the same night she was abducted.
