Navua police are investigating a complaint by a 17 year old girl in a village in Namosi who allegedly that her real father raped her.

The girl is currently under police protection and has refused to return to the village until police lay charges on her father.

Navua police are expected to go to the village today to question the father in relation to the allegations from his daughter.

Meanwhile, police have already identified a 25 year old suspect who raped a 7 year old girl last weekend, and are just waiting for the girl to recover to re-confirm the identity of the rapist.

She was sleeping with her 2 younger brothers and her elder sister, who is 12 years old, when a man walked into the house, carried her 200 meters from the house and raped her.

Both her parents had gone to church and when they came back home just after midnight, they could not locate the girl. They then conducted a search.

Police say they eventually located the girl who was crying and feeling weak at about 3am on Saturday.
