BACOLOD City – A 16-year-old boy is now in the custody of the Social Development Center (SDC), after he was accused of allegedly molesting a seven-year-old boy here last week.

Police Lieutenant Arlyn Torrendon, head of Women and Children’s Protection Desk (WCPD), said the victim was probably alone at home when it happened last Friday.

However, Torrendon did not elaborate further on how the incident happened.

“Kilalahay man sila,” Torrendon said, as the victim and the teenager are residents of the same barangay here.

Torrendon said they are waiting for the result of the victim’s medical examination.

She said social workers will conduct interventions on both suspect and complainant.
