A 37-year-old man will be produced at the Labasa Magistrates Court tomorrow, charged with allegedly raping his 12-year-old daughter on several occasions between June 2022 to April 2023.

He allegedly committed the offenses at a relative’s home where they had been staying with her mother and other siblings.

The accused has been charged with four counts of rape.
