She also found that her skirt and panties had been removed and she had semen and was bleeding from her private parts.
The girl woke up her young brother and they asked their father why he was in their blankets but he did not respond.
The girl reported the rape to her stepmother when she returned home from church at around 6am. She confronted her husband who told her to keep quiet since she wasn’t the girl’s biological mother. On February 27, the stepmother went to church and the father again raped his daughter.
She disclosed the rape to her stepmother the following morning and she accompanied the girl to make a report at Southlea Park Police Station on Saturday.
