Monrovia - Despite the Liberian Senate making rape bailable, the Solicitor General (SG) of Liberia has said that the Ministry of Justice remains unwavering in prosecuting all rape and sexual exploitation cases. She disclosed that the only court in the country to prosecute sexual abuse cases is also impeding the prosecution of rape cases. Betty followed the Supreme Court's recent confirmation of the guilty verdict of a 20-year-old man, who raped a 10-year-old girl in 2011. The nation's highest court agreed that Marfalon committed the act based on the facts and supporting evidence adduced during the trial of the case. The court record shows that the defendant lied when he testified that he rented his generator to a friend a night before the incident.
