MONROVIA-A fifteen-year-old girl has reportedly been raped and impregnated in the process in Ganta, Nimba County.
According to the story, Monyou (not her real name), was taken from Grand Gedeh County and carried to Ganta, Nimba County by a man only identified as Kelvin Kay.
A local journalist in Grand Gedeh narrated that the girl was taken from Grand Gedeh unknown to her parents and other family members to go and live with her alleged rapist.
Kelvin Kay is said to have taken the girl into a rented room in Ganta where he and the girl lived as she was allegedly being sexually abused by him.
The local journalist further informed the public that the girl later got pregnant for Kelvin at which time the parents and family members of the girl in question launched a search for her.
After months of a manhunt for the girl, it was later discovered that the girl was taken away into Ganta, Nimba County.
While the family of the rape survivor kept on searching for her exact location, Monyou was said to be on the verge of putting in the bag her first child.
She reportedly relocated back to Zwedru, Grand Gedeh County where she remained and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.
The report further explained that Monyou underwent a C-session (operation) before the child was born as doctors reportedly advised that she undergoes an operation since she could not deliver normally because she was not mature enough.
Meanwhile, a fresh report from Grand Gedeh County says Kelvin has been arrested charged, and sent to court for the alleged act.
Kelvin is said to have been forwarded by the Toe Town Police Detachment to Zwedru Magisterial Court, the later of which charged Kelvin with rape and kidnapping.
In a related development, a man believed to be in his early 50s has been declared wanted by Police in Sanniquellie Nimba County for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl.
Saah Jimmy is said to have sexually abused the victim several times over the last two years before the secret was leaked to the mother of the child.
It is reported that the girl and her mother were renting in the home of Saah Jimmy when he (Saah) reportedly initiated the girl into sexual activities at the age of fourteen which was two years of stay in the home of Mr. Jimmy as renters.
The 15 years old girl (identity with-held) is said to have been taken to a hospital in Sanniquellie and proven to have been tampered with sexually for years now and has been given the needed medical care and attention.
