Since last Wednesday, at least four children have been raped in Namibia.
One of the victims is a three-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by a 15-year-old cousin who was supposed to babysit her. The boy was charged and released into the custody of his grandmother.
Police spokesperson Chief Inspector Kauna Shikwambi said depending on the merits of the case, children between the ages of 14 and 17 are criminally liable and are thus charged and placed in the custody of their parents or guardians pending investigation and court proceedings.
