A 19-year-old man yesterday admitted to defiling a 13-year-girl he was friends with.
The teenager, who is not being named to protect the girl, admitted in court to participating in sexual acts with the girl over the past few months.
Magistrate Doreen Clarke put off the case for judgment. The teenager was granted bail and ordered not to approach the girl or her family. In case the girl or her family were to speak to him, he was to inform Police Inspector Louise Calleja immediately, the magistrate said.
