NAN report, a community source said that when Jomaph was accosted over the allegation, he denied raping the little girl.

The source said: “When we questioned him over the allegation, he denied. He even swore that he had not set his eyes on the girl that morning.

“Other neighbours pleaded with him to say the truth, but he maintained his stance that he never raped the girl. Jomaph even went ahead to report the girl and her parents to the police for defamation of character.

“However, a CCTV camera installed by a neighbour for his business later showed the moment Jomaph sneaked into the toilet immediately after the girl had gone to use the toilet.”
