ILOILO City – An 85-year-old farmer from Isla de Gigantes, Carles, Iloilo has been charged with raping a six-year-old girl.
The complaint against Moises Alonzo was filed on Aug. 28 at the Iloilo Provincial Prosecutor’s Office.
The girl was a neighbor of the suspect, according to Chief Inspector Niño Leonard Amar, Carles police chief.
The girl told her mother she was sexually abused, said Amar.
Alonzo was taken to the Carles police station right after the girl’s mother sought help on Monday, Aug. 27.
“We immediately arrested the suspect. He did not resist,” said Amar.
According to the girl, Alonzo gave her P11 so she went with him to a nearby farm.
