PARAMARIBO — Three suspects – two aged 20 and one aged 17 – have been arrested by the Uitvlugt police in connection with alleged sexual abuse of two fifteen-year-old girls. The Suriname Police Corps wrote on its website on Tuesday afternoon that the police received a report on October 14 that the two girls were at an address in the company of three boys and had possibly been sexually abused.
The girls, who were indeed found at the address, stated at the police station that they had been sexually abused by three boys or that lewd acts had been committed with them. The two twenty-year-old suspects were arrested the same day – October 14. The youngest was not arrested until November 9.
All three suspects were taken into custody after their respective arraignment after consultation with the Public Prosecution Service. The further investigation has been transferred to Youth Affairs.
