74-yr-old man allegedly infects 14-yr-old girl with STD from sexual abuse

The family of a girl raped who reportedly suffered sexual abuse in the hands of an elderly man have opted to settle with the suspect instead of pursuing justice in a courthouse.

Human rights activists are in support of justice for a girl who reportedly contracted STD from her experience being sexually abused.

In a social media post the parents have opted to settle out of court despite objection from residents of a Warri community where the incident occurred.

A rights activist Israel Joe confirms that the victim tested positive to STD.

While the girl's family members take a timid approach towards the incident, Joe and other activists have reportedly vowed to pursue justice for the 14-year-old.
