JUBA – A senior South Sudan army commander is wanted by a Juba court on charges related to child sexual assault cases, sources with direct knowledge told Sudans Post in separate phone calls on Saturday.

The army’s presidential guards battalion commander Major-General Lual Wek Guem is being accused by a man of abusing his 14-year-old daughter in August last year.

The small girl (name withheld) initially approached General Guem who is better known as Lual Maroldit, for school fees after being threatened with expulsion from school and the South Sudanese army commander paid him 10,000 South Sudanese pound and then asked her to meet him at a hotel, according to a source, then defiled her.
