A middle-aged man was accused of raping a minor granddaughter in Shida Kartli. The alleged victim is a 13-year-old child, and the alleged perpetrator is a man under 60.
The alleged perpetrator was arrested at home; he is being held in a pre-trial detention isolator.
The crime became known to law enforcement after the teenager became ill and told her mother about the violence.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs states that the investigation is underway.
The arrested man is waiting to be charged, after which the Gori District Court will decide about the preventive measure.
