The girl pulled her pants up and wanted to walk away, but the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He then forced her to perform oral sex on him.The prosecutor said the girl did not fully understand the nature of her grandfather’s actions, and only subsequently learned about “good touch” and “bad touch” in her Primary 6 sex education classes.
