Father of Colombian children who survived plane crash accused of abuse

Colombian prosecutors announced sexual abuse charges on Saturday against the father of two of the four Indigenous children who survived a May plane crash in the South American country’s Amazon region.
The children went missing after the small plane they were traveling in went down, killing their mother and two other adults.
In a statement, prosecutors accused Manuel Ranoque of sexually abusing his 13-year-old step daughter, who was widely credited with ensuring that she and her younger siblings survived the more than five-week-long ordeal in the Amazon that garnered headlines across the globe.
Ranoque, who was arrested on Friday, stands accused of abusing his step daughter since she was 10 years old, according to the statement.
