Google translation:

A week has passed since a 14-year-old girl was sexually harassed, and no arrests have been made, according to local media outlet Mihaaru in a Maldivian native Dhivehi language report

Police are currently investigating the case, which involves multiple incidents of harassment by a group of men. 

The incident was reported to the police on the 29th of last month, and investigations began on the 8th of this month. 

Despite 19 individuals being implicated in the harassment, no one on the island has been questioned yet. 

The Gender Ministry's media unit has assured that the victim is receiving protection and support. As soon as the case came to light, the child was immediately taken to Male' City, the capital.
