KABONG, Nov 14 — Sarawak police have arrested a 28-year-old man after a 12-year-old Year Six pupil was found to be pregnant, Berita Harian reported last night.

The case came to light when the girl’s mother took her to school to inform the management of the pregnancy, Saratok district police chief Deputy Superintendent Mathew Manggie said.

“The victim admitted to having sexual relations three times in mid-June,” he was quoted as saying.

The woman also reportedly told the school that she wanted her daughter to stop schooling so she could marry the suspect.
