Police have launched an investigation into the alleged sexual assault of a four-month-old baby girl following concerns raised by medical personnel at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre.
The matter came to the attention of authorities after a doctor at the hospital reported injuries consistent with possible sexual abuse. Law enforcement officials are now working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
As of press time, it remained unclear whether any arrests had been made in connection with the case. Police had not issued an official statement detailing the investigation, which is understood to be ongoing.
The infant survived the alleged attack and received medical treatment. The report has prompted widespread public concern, particularly given the extremely young age of the child and the gravity of the allegations.
Child protection cases of this nature are typically handled with strict confidentiality. Investigators are expected to proceed with care as they gather evidence and interview relevant parties.
Authorities are urging anyone with information that may assist the investigation to come forward.
