Wayanad: For two months, seven girls were drawn out of their orphanage in Kerala, threatened and sexually assaulted by a group of six young men. The men were arrested yesterday following a complaint by the orphanage in Wayanad.
The police said on their way back to the orphanage from school, the girls would be offered treats, cajoled, taken to a shop and then sexually assaulted. The girls were threatened and warned against complaining to anyone.
A guard who saw a girl being taken out of the shop one day grew suspicious and informed the orphanage, which filed a police complaint on Saturday.
They have been charged with rape and under the stringent POCSO (Protection of Children Against Sexual Crimes) Act.
There is also a suspicion that more girls were assaulted by the group.
