arrested and charged a bus driver who made a 17-year-old girl drunk by forcing
her to drink beer and raping her last month.
Madang commander acting Supt Mazuc Rubiang said the Grade 10 schoolgirl was
raped in the bus on Dec 20 on the North Coast Road.
He said the suspect had previous convictions of sexual attacks.
Rubiang said the girl was in town when she was forcefully picked up by the
driver who was operating along the North Coast Road.
He said the girl was locked in the
vehicle while driving up and down the highway until it became dark.
“The driver, after dropping off passengers, went to a location along the
highway and started sexually assaulting the girl,” he said.
“While assaulting her, he opened a can of beer and forcefully gave her to
drink. The girl told police that she became drowsy because it was her first
drink of beer.
“The girl struggled and broke open one of the doors and fell out of the vehicle
and ran into the bush.”
Rubiang said the driver went after the girl who hid in the bush.
“When she heard the vehicle being driven away (by the driver’s son), she
stepped out of the bush only to be confronted by the driver who dragged her
into the bush and raped her,” he said. “The girl tried to fight back but the
driver hit her on her forehead and she fell unconscious. The driver then tore
off her clothes and raped her.
“After he was done, the drivers son picked up his father and that was when one
of the girl’s uncle hopped onto the vehicle and found his niece bleeding and
her clothes torn. He remained quiet as he was alone. The driver and his son
then dropped off the girl in their house and left. Early next day, the girl did
not feel well and her family took her to the hospital. A policewoman from the
sexual offence squad was also at the hospital when she saw them helping the
girl out of the vehicle and the girl’s torn underwear dropping. The policewoman
then followed the girl to the ward and enquired what had happened to the girl.
“She went to the police station, lodged a police report, took it to the doctor
to examine her to confirm that she had been raped.”
Rubiang said the policewomen then arrested the driver.
