The prosecutor said the defendant held the hand of the nine-year-old girl while walking on the road and the girl was crying unabated. “People who saw her crying then asked her if the woman was her mother and she said no which brought the attention of the crowd who started questioning the defendant. “The mother of the girl eventually appeared and told the crowd that she had never come across the defendant in her entire life,” the prosecutor said.
