In the alleged rape of the 14-year-old girl, Jungao said that the girl was scared to tell her parents about the alleged rape to her because the 32-year-old man allegedly threatened her.
But the parents prevailed upon the girl and convinced her to tell them what really happened.
The parents then brought the girl to the police station and reported the alleged rape.
Jungao said that they went to the home of the suspect but he was no longer there and they believed that he was in hiding.
Police were awaiting the results of the medical examination of the girl and file the case of rape against the suspect. |dbs
