Kochi: Ruling front & Church in Kerala is trying to protect the clergyman who is said to have sexually abused the 14 year old girl. A complaint was lodged by the victim’s mother against 41 year old Fr Edwin Sigrez , of Lourde Matha Church of Kottappuram congregation.

According to the latest information, sources have stated that the Vicar is under covert in a secret hideout belonging to the Latin Catholic congregation. However, even though police have ample information about his whereabouts, they have refrained from making an arrest owing to stringent restrictions placed by higher ups. This Vicar had vociferously campaigned for Congress in past elections. Sources have also indicated that the investigation is likely to be left halfway through. The Church is also said to be wielding a strong influence on matters of investigation.

The Vicar was allegedly raping the child since 3 months inside the church premises. He is said to have been repeatedly summoning the child for confessing, following which he would do the heinous crime. The Vicar’s summoning of the child on a frequent basis aroused suspicions of other devotees, which led to questioning of the girl. A complaint was lodged by the girl’s mother thereafter.

Sources have also indicated that the Vicar was in the habit of regularly summoning women and girl children solitarily. He has an active presence on Facebook as well. It is said that a lot of pressure is being mounted upon the girl’s family in withdrawing her complaint.
