JoeGoaUk's Point of View: 7 year old Raped in School Toilet at Vasco Sada, MPT

A 7 year old girl raped in the school toilet on Monday morning 14th January, 2013 by a stranger or intruder

The school has compound wall with manned gates.

First gate, closer to Primary section is opp. MPT Chairman’s Residence gate (Harbour house, MRH1, Headland Sada).

The gate is now (after the incidence) appeared to be closed with brick wall.

The distance from the gate or the compound wall to the main school is about 100 mtrs.

Toilet located on the first floor and not very far from the Headmistress cabin.

The incident took place during interval but the Management before informing the parents or to the police washed the victim (gave bath) and her clothes and cleaned the toilet area.
Incident at 10am, reported to Police 1pm and Medicals at 6pm

Police gave upto 3 different sketches of the culprit (see 2 above)

Victim described him her way where as the teachers or Management described the intruder their ways. (Girl saw him upto five times in 8 days - see update below)

14 days as on 27.1.2013, no breakthrough in the case yet.

However, school headmistress was arrested and released on bail.

How daring he was!
First enter the school premises through gate or by jumping over (wall height is now raised by half meter) then enter the school, then to the 1st floor, then enter the ladies toilet (next to Headmistress Cabin) and all this during interval?
At this time no one spotted him entering or exiting ladies toilet, which otherwise remains busy or mostly occupied during interval?

Certain things in the case are difficult to digest including the two diff sketches.

What or why took Police so long to nab the culprit?

About the rapist, I can only assume..
- He is a known face at School
- He visited school more than once before
- He could be an ex-employee (including security)
- He is a maniac or of unsound mind

update: 26.1.13
Girl reveals that the accused and his friend (with guitar on his back) came to see her 4 times some days before in the school compound and even offered her chocolates. - Prudent TV /H

Update 15.4.13
Vasco Minor Rape Case: ‘Monty’ is not the Rapist.
CM Parrikar in the Assembly house as per the ‘Interpol’ feedback, certified that Monty is not the culprit.
His passport details say he has last left from Dubai on 29.11.2012 (no mention of his last date of arrival into Dubai)
Crime or rape took place in the Vasco school toilet on 14.1.13.
I think Parrikar too made a mention of ‘Monty’ in the last Assembly session saying ‘Monty already left for Dubai’
