The police are now investigating the circumstances under which a six-year-old girl was sexually molested a few weeks ago while she was a patient at a hospital.
It was reported that the girl was assaulted by an 11-year-old boy who is HIV-positive. The boy and the girl were both patients at the hospital at the time of the alleged incident.
The girl made a report to relatives while she was still a patient at the hospital. The relatives reported the matter to the hospital authority and the police.
The police immediately reported the matter to the Child Development Agency.
A legal expert explained yesterday that it unlikely that the boy will be charged because the law states that children under the age of 12 cannot be charged with a criminal offence.
The lawyer said the girl's parents could file a civil suit against the hospital authority for negligence.
