A 20-year-man of Vatukarasa has today been charged for allegedly posting a photo of a minor and saying that he wants to have sex with her.
The man has been charged with one count of indecently insulting and annoying any person.
Commissioner of Police Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho has expressed serious concern about the nature of the post.
Qiliho says this is a time where the nation is working towards eradicating this issue and looking at ways at protecting children from becoming victims of such crimes.
He says making a joke of such an issue is sickening.
Investigators were tasked to track down the person who posted the comment and a photo of the child.
The Police Cyber Crime Unit managed to identify the man and charges were laid against him earlier this afternoon.
He will appear in the Suva Magistrates Court tomorrow.
