N explained that the incident was known to him when the victim confessed to her first sister that she had received inappropriate treatment from the perpetrator.

"It wasn't long before his sister came, and she kept saying, 'Sis, I'm bleeding. Then he said, where to see. No, he said so. He immediately covered it with pants, ran to me (N)," said N.

Not long after, FR approached her mother and told her what had happened.

"Well when I got here, I came out of the bathroom, he was like, 'mom, mom, I'm bleeding'. I have negative thoughts. Bleeding why? Try to explain why. Even crying," he continued.

N, who was emotional, immediately contacted the head of the local RT. Then he was advised to report to the police.
