Naas - “I was on my way home from a liquor store with my four friends around 01:00. A man appeared and chased us. My friends took other directions and he chose to chase me until he caught me. He forced me to a home where there were no lights outside and torn my clothes and raped me four times without using a condom,” these words are said by a 17 year old girl who was raped by an unknown man last Friday night. The suspect had a gun according to the suspect. He was wearing dark clothes.

“He released me in the dawn. I don’t know the suspect and it was my first time to see him. When I was in a street I saw my friends in a police van and they were looking for me. We went to the station to lay a charge,” she continued. According to the victim, she was raped for the second time. “The first time I was raped in 2007. My parents were out and the suspect I knew broke a window, gained entrance through the hole and raped me two times. But he was arrested and being sentenced 15 years to prison,” she continued again.

After laying a charge, the victim went to check for an HIV status and she was found negative. A rape case was opened with Tonga police. No arrests have been made up to now. The police are probing the case.
