The mother of a toddler raped at her nursery school in
Myanmar told a court Wednesday that she believes the man charged with the crime is not the perpetrator.
The mother of the girl, who was 2 years, 11 months old when she was allegedly raped in May, said at the Dakkhina Thiri District Court that when her daughter watched security video from the school, she identified two other individuals as the ones who assaulted her.
The case has triggered
protests, including at Wednesday's hearing, not only because of the nature of the crime but also because of the widespread belief that the suspect who has been charged, Aung Kyaw Myo, is a scapegoat.
