A 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 42-year-old man at Okaphoto renting rooms in the Onandjamba settlement last month.
Omusati Regional Commander, Commissioner Titus Shikongo said that the crime was committed on the 20th of February and that suspect was only arrested on Wednesday this week.
Shikongo explained that there are cases where investigations have to be carried out first to ascertain a crime has been committed rather than arresting straight away.
At the time of the incident, the suspect allegedly found the victim on her way home from the hospital where she was attending classes.
