Madampe Police have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with the alleged repeated sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl in the Bingiriya area.
The suspect, a resident of Hiruwalpola in Bingiriya, was taken into custody after the girl’s mother lodged a complaint with the police.

Police subsequently commenced an investigation based on the complaint.
The girl has been referred to the Judicial Medical Officer at Chilaw General Hospital for further medical examination.
The suspect is due to be produced before the Chilaw Magistrate’s Court.
Madampe Police are continuing investigations into the alleged incident.
