A 21-year-old man was arrested by the Judicial Police in Fafe on suspicion of sexual abuse of a nine-year-old child. The victim was his neighbor, which is believed to have facilitated access to the minor.

The suspect was arrested outside of flagrante delicto, meaning he was not caught committing the crime in the act. During questioning, he is said to have admitted to the charges against him.

The court imposed precautionary measures on the defendant, which include a prohibition on contact with minors without adult supervision. This measure aims to protect potential victims during the legal proceedings.
