A St Catherine man accused of sexually molesting his 14-year-old daughter, has been taken into custody by the St Catherine North police on reasonable suspicion of carnal abuse.

It is alleged that the 40-year-old farmer was picked up by the police at his home recently but is yet to be questioned.

Police said the man has not yet retained a lawyer in order for the question and answer session to be done.

Information reaching THE WEEKEND STAR is that the child allegedly went to school and related an ordeal to a school friend who implored her to tell someone else. The child is said to have then gone to a teacher and poured out her heart.

Following a report to the police, the man was held and was still in custody up to yesterday.
