Police have received some 40 ‘sex with minor’ reported cases between January and July 2015.
In the previous year, the police recorded 131 reports, which includes victims under 12-years-old.
This revelation was made during an MBC television programme dubbed “Police Insight “on Sunday evening.
Inspector Susanna Osman said that a majority of these cases involve a relative or friend.
She said in some cases stepfathers and family friends also commit this hideous act on children.
Someone under the age of 16 cannot consent to sexual intercourse, according to local laws.
There have also been 39 reported cases of rape from January to July 2015 and 50 reported cases last year.
