MAKKAH: The Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in Makkah arrested a man after receiving a complaint from a girl’s mother that the man coerced her 10-year-old daughter to enter his apartment, according to a commission statement yesterday.
“The woman had an agreement with a man in the neighborhood to drive the girl to school every day,” Abdul Rahman Al-Doalej, director of the commission in Makkah, said in the statement.
“On the second day while returning from school the man asked the girl to visit his house, which was not far from her house. Though she rejected the idea, the man pulled up in front of his house and made her enter the house by force. He offered her some kind of drink but she refused it and started crying loudly. The commission took action against the man after the mother reported the matter,” Al-Doalej said.
He warned parents not to send their girls to schools except with close relatives or in school buses.
