The Maceodnian Ministry of Interior’s bulletin brought two reports on Saturday of rape of minors, and the A1.on website reported a third case of a pedophile who reached out to a child that schocked the general public.

First, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) reported about a Skopje resident (58) who raped a girl (13) and took her picture. Then, the Ministry of Interior’s bulletin reported about a man from Gostivar who kidnapped a minor, and finally, A1.on came out with news about a case that is probably even more shocking – about a playroom employee who committed pedophile acts on a ten-year-old child.

The Skopje Ministry of Interior filed criminal charges against J.M. (58) from Skopje due to reasonable suspicion that he committed the crime of “rape of a child under 15 years of age” punishable under Article 188 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.

The second case concerns a young man from the Gostivar region who kidnapped and raped a minor. As the Ministry of Interior informed, T.B. (29) from the village of Zdunje was arrested Friday.

He was reported by a Gostivar resident, who indicated that the now arrested man had met his minor daughter a few months ago in the Gostivar area, in a black Volkswagen jeep, and had raped her using physical force, threatening her and her family’s lives.

The third case that shocked the public concerns criminal acts by an adult against a ten-year-old child.

The child, who was in the playroom, only went to the bar to ask for water, whereupon the waiter began communicating with him.

The conversation, according to information from A1on, escalated into a disturbing situation, during which the employee allegedly hugged the child and made inappropriate requests of a sexual nature. First, he asked the child to show his genitals, and then suggested that they go to the toilet together and he show them to him. The child ran away to his parent who was nearby, and the case was immediately reported to the police and the Public Prosecutor’s Office (PPO).
