An 18-year-old pupil was arrested on Wednesday for raping a heartbroken classmate who had just split up with her boyfriend, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said during a press briefing yesterday.
According to the spokesperson, the suspect was talking to the 17-year-old girl on a social media app on Sunday evening, and asked her to meet him outside his flat in Rua de Manuel de Arriaga. The victim agreed.
After the two met outside the suspect’s flat, the spokesperson said the suspect then told the girl that he had left his wallet in his flat and asked her to go with him while he went to get it.
