CAPE TOWN – Child rights group Molo Songololo at the weekend said it is perturbed by the high levels of crimes committed against children in the Western Cape. The organisation believes young girls, in particular, are vulnerable to abuse and sexual assault. It said the most recent incident in which two young girls were raped in George once again highlights the scourge. Last week the 11 and 14-year-old were lured away from their homes to a bush where a man allegedly sexually assaulted them. Molo Songololo’s Patrick Solomons said crimes like these are of grave concern. “Girls from age of 10 upwards are pretty vulnerable. It is often people that they know who are the perpetrators and who commit sexual offences against them. This is a big challenge within the community.” For more http://www.ewn.co.za
