Dr Lebaka Bongo told the Broadhurst Magistrates Court yesterday that the youngster, who is now 17-years-old, had reported to Princess Marina Hospital’s emergency unit in July 2012.

The alleged rapist, who is not named to protect the identity of the victim, stands accused of two counts of rape and indecent assault in connection with an incident that allegedly took place at Ginger location, Broadhurst. The incident reportedly took place on July 27, 2012.
