A prison guard at the Young Offenders juvenile prison in Mtaħleb will be charged in court today with sexually abusing a 15-year-old female prisoner.

TVM reported that the the alleged case took place last July, prompting the prisoner to report the 52-year-old prison guard to the prison’s administration. Following an investigation, the police have evidently found enough evidence to warrant a prosecution.

More details will be announced later.
