A man in his 60s has been remanded by the Taveuni Magistrates Court for a case of alleged rape involving his 14-year-old granddaughter.
Police say the man was charged with one count of indecently annoying any person, two counts of sexual assault and one count of rape.
They say the man is alleged to have between the months of May and June 2026, sexually assaulted and raped the victim in their home, and threatened to harm her if she reported the matter.
