A 59-year-old man has been charged over the alleged sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in Portmore, St Catherine last week.
Reports are that about 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, members of the Portmore Quick Response Team were on patrol along Port Henderson Road when they observed a Toyota Wish motor car parked along the roadway.
Police say they later discovered the 12-year-old girl in a compromising situation with the suspect.
The man was taken into custody on suspicion of forcible abduction, sexual grooming, and sexual touching of a child.
Investigators say the accused met the child in March and had allegedly developed a friendship with her, before luring her.
Police further reported that the suspect had previously picked up the child at a gas station in Naggo Head, Portmore, prior to the incident.
The accused, whose identity is being withheld to protect the complainant, was formally charged following further investigations.
