KOCHI: A 25-year-old woman was arrested on Sunday for sexually abusing her acquaintance's nine-year-old son multiple times.

Raji, a resident of Kadappara near Malayattoor, was arrested after the victim's mother filed a complaint with

police on January 12. The incident came into light when the boy revealed his ordeal to a counsellor, police said.

Roy, the accused's husband, alleged that the case is baseless and the incident is a story cooked up out of personal grudge over unsettled financial deals between his wife and the boy's mother.
