"We implore the criminal justice system to treat this matter with utmost seriousness and diligence, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

"We must work collectively to create safe environments that protect the most vulnerable members of our society and prevent such heinous acts from occurring."
