Syrian Child Sexually Assaulted by Man with AIDS in Marjeyoun

A Syrian child was sexually assaulted in the southern town of Marjeyoun, and medical examination revealed that his attacker has AIDS.

"A four-year-old refugee was sexually assaulted by a Syrian worker that lives nearby the victim's family and who is an employee working for the boy's father,” An Nahar daily reported on Thursday.

An Nahar said the assaulter was arrested and was medically examined.

The medical report revealed, however, that the man has AIDS.

The newspaper detailed on the incident: “A Lebanese employer noticed a laborer crying at work and after asking about the reasons, he was told that another Syrian employee had sexually assaulted his son.”

Security bodies were informed about the incident and arrested the attacker.

A forensic doctor was called for examining the child and the report confirmed that a sexual assault did take place.

The examination also revealed that the assaulter has AIDS.

The newspaper noted that the forensic doctor was paid for examining the child and the attacker, while the Ministry of Social Affairs and Non-Governmental Organizations that are dedicated to children's well-being, and others that care for refugees' situation did not act on the matter.
