The accused has pleaded not guilty in a criminal court.

The boy, the son of a policeman, testified that he had left the toilet door open when the cleaner came from behind, grabbed him and raped him.

A medical test later confirmed rape.

The cleaner has claimed that male cleaners are not allowed inside the boys' toilet.

The court's ruling is expected June 11.
