3 girls accuse dad of abuse

A man was arrested after a Christian missionary reported to the Cordova police last Tuesday afternoon that he had molested his three children.

Clemente Arain, 45, of barangay Pilipog, Cordova town, was arrested by police after Jonathan Acosta told of his alleged acts to the police.

The three daughters of the suspect, aged four, eleven and sixteen, told their mother that their father touched their private parts on different occasion whenever he was intoxicated.

The mother, who was a member of the Christian fellowship group, told of her children's ordeal to Acosta, a missionary, who then reported the incident to the police.

Police then arrested Arain who also admitted to the crime. He is now presently detained at the Cordova police station, a child abuse case has already been filed against him.
