The National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) arrested a 42-year-old male dance teacher in the Western Province for allegedly abusing a 17-year-old boy.

It has been revealed that the suspect had made the child to drink a drug-laced soft drink during an event in late 2019 and had abused the child sexually.

Also, prior to the incident, the dance teacher had taken a group of 11 people, including three minors on a trip to a foreign country. Investigations revealed that the suspect had tried to abuse one of the underage boys who was a member of the tour.

The NCPA said that the suspect dance teacher had previously been involved in harassing a girl through social media using two underage boys.

NCPA is conducting further investigations into the incident.

These dastard acts by these depraved elements should be given much more stricter punishment and the so called human rights activists should give more attention to the victims. The report that abuse of women and children has seen a rapid increase can also be ,in addition to the depraved section of society and, also could be partly connected to the drug abuse. Politicians are also connected to this abuse.
