Farmer Arrested After Raping Neighbor's Girl

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / September 13, 2008) – Police arrested a Filipino farmer who was accused of raping his neighbor’s child in the southern town of Tungawan in Mindanao island.

Police said Julio Caiz was accused of raping an eight-year daughter of a farming couple on Wednesday. Caiz’s neighbors left the girl on his custody so they can sell vegetables to the market, but they learned about rape later.

The girl complained of severe stomach pains and was rushed to a clinic by her parents only to find out that she was sexually abused, police said.
