A teenage girl who says she was repeatedly raped by her step-father and that he killed her baby could be flogged for having sex with another man. Police in the Maldives say they found evidence of consensual 'fornication' while they investigated the rape accusations. Now the the 15-year-old victim faces a punishment of flogging under the country's strict Islamic law, according to AFP. Her step-father is accused of repeatedly raping her and then murdering a baby he fathered and her mother has been charged with helping dispose of the body. Despite this, the child is being investigated for having consensual extra-marrital sex, which is a crime in the tropical island destination. If convicted she could be publically flogged when she reaches the age of 18. Maldivian police spokesman Hassan Haneef told AFP: 'We completed the investigation (into the murder of the infant) and gave a report to the prosecutor general's office'.
