Kannur: A 23-year-old young woman was arrested in a POCSO case for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in Kerala's Kannur district on Friday, police said.
According to the police, Sneha Merlin (23) was arrested in Taliparamba town following a complaint lodged by the victim's parents.
The school teachers got suspicious of the girl's behaviour and seized a mobile phone that contained a vulgar video from her school bag.
Teachers conducted counselling for her and the girl revealed the trauma that she went through over the last one month. They alerted her parents and Childline and this led to arrest.
The young woman is a repeat offender and she allegedly abused a 14-year-old boy earlier and also was purportedly involved in an assault case.
