“From medical reports, the young girl is bleeding from the vagina, anus, nose, mouth, and ears,†as reported by Joy News.
According to her, the girl is in a critical condition and has been admitted to the hospital.
Martina explained, the girl’s mother only found out about the abuse after she fell ill and was rushed to the hospital. It was then that the little girl made the revelation after was forced to speak.
The worried mother reported the 21-year-old man to the police.
Martina reports that the girl is also suffering from severe trauma and shivers anytime she sees a man.
