A MAN has been accused of raping his stepdaughter some two weeks ago, after failing to do so last December when the child managed to run away from him.
The child is claiming that the man, at one time, attempted to show her pornography and she turned her face away from his phone.

According to reports, the accused went to pick up the child from her afternoon lessons, and from there, he took her to a desolate section of a community and attempted to rape her, but she resisted him.

This forced him to drive off and take her home. The child also claims that at one point, the man also offered her $5000 to have sex with her but she refused.
The advances continued and some two weeks ago, he committed the gruesome act. The traumatised child informed her teacher, who subsequently informed the headteacher of the school. However, it appears that the teachers did not inform the police nor the Child Care and Protection Agency.

The child reportedly confided in her biological father last Sunday about what her stepfather was doing to her and he (the biological father) decided to inform the media.
The Child Care and Protection Agency reportedly got wind of the story when it was carried by an online news outlet. The accused has since gone into hiding.

Police have since launched a search for the perpetrator. The child was taken for a medical examination and same proved that she was indeed raped.
The Guyana Chronicle was also told that the mother of the child is pregnant for the perpetrator and has been silent on the abuse of her daughter.
