A 13-year-old girl from a popular school in Nugegoda has been hospitalized after being repeatedly sexually abused by three young men, the Kirulapone Police said.

It was reported that two suspects, aged 19 and 21, who are residents of Kirulapone, have been arrested in connection with the incident.

During a funeral held near the victim’s residence in September 2022, a 23-year-old man had befriended the teenage girl.

Police investigations revealed that this man had taken the girl to the Dehiwala Beach and sexually abused her at one of the hotels in the area.

Afterwards, a 21-year-old man who is a brother of a friend residing near the girl’s house, had established a relationship with the girl. When there was no one at the girl’s house, he had visited the house and sexually abused the girl.

During a party held at the girl’s house on January 1, 2023, a 19-year-old youth who was under the influence of liquor had sexually abused the girl.

After being continuously abused by these men, she had revealed about the abuse to one of her close friends. The friend has informed the incident to the class teacher who alerted the 1929 hotline. Accordingly, the girl was brought to the police for questioning.

A special police team has been deployed to arrest the 23-year-old resident of Pussellawa who first molested the girl.

The Kirulapone Police are conducting further investigations.
