The AGN president added that the accusation was a sad development, as it involves one of their own. However, he said the organisation will not condone such a crime.

“To get involved with a child as young as 16years, is not something I and the association I represent, would stand for. This is a very sad development involving a member of ours, but I wouldn’t want to comment any further on this case,” he said.
