Police in Avissawella are investigating a 13-year-old girl, who had allegedly been sexually abused by 35 men on different occasions.
Eight of the suspects are already in police custody, while the girl is receiving police protection.
Her plight came to be known upon investigation of information received by OIC of Avissawella Police W.K.P. Ashoka Kumara.
The girl from a poor family in a difficult village had been raped at a very early age.
