Police Arrest Tripoli Child Rapist

Police have arrested a Lebanese man, who has admitted to raping children in the northern city of Tripoli, the Internal Security Forces general command said Monday.

The 20-year-old suspect was arrested at a car wash in the Tripoli area of Abi Samra on Saturday, the ISF said in a communique.

He has admitted to previously raping six children by luring them with small amounts of cash ranging between LL2,000 and LL5,000, it said.

His arrest came after a man claimed to police on Friday that his 13-year-old son was raped by him, the communique added.

The ISF said the suspect, who was only identified with his initials as M.M., was referred to the judicial police for further investigation.
