Police says he bought teen girl from Nepal, raped her
He has denied charges, says she was an employee
A 16-year-old girl from Nepal has told the police that she was sold to him by her step mother and another woman she referred to as “aunty”.
Mr Monserrate, who has in the past served as the state’s education minister and was expelled by the Congress, spiked her drink and then raped her in his bungalow, the teen has allegedly told the police.
“The next morning i woke up without my clothes, covered in blood, he was sitting without his clothes on,” the teen has told a committee that deals with protecting children. She also said her step mother fooled her by saying she was going to meet Babush Monserrate for work and asked her to “dress properly”.
She is now staying at a government-run home for children.
The police are also going to record the survivors statement before a magistrate to strengthen the case.
Sources also revealed the step mother is also likely to be arrested
