Man Held for Sexually Assaulting Minor at Halloween Party in Kochi

A 21-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor girl during a Halloween party at a resort in Aluva near here, police said.

The arrested person was identified as Alex Robin, a native of Puzhavath near Changanassery, currently residing in an apartment in Kadavanthara, Kochi.

According to police, a group of more than 30 people gathered at a resort near UC College in Aluva last week for a Halloween party. The group included two minor



girls.

Police said several girls who attended the party had told their families that it was an all-girls gathering.

However, one of the parents reached the resort and found that the party was not exclusively for girls and that liquor was being served to the participants. Later, more parents reached the venue and took their children home.

After reaching home, one of the minors, aged 15, told her parents that she had been sexually assaulted by one of the participants, police said.
