The move comes after a 48-year-old man was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of raping the 3-year-old girl, who had to undergo surgery after the ordeal.
Peru's government will present a bill to allow for chemical castration as a penalty for raping a minor, Cabinet members told reporters on Wednesday, following national outrage over the rape of a 3-year-old girl.
"We consider that this measure will be an additional penalty for those who commit rape," said Justice Minister Felix Chero.
He said the government hopes those who rape minors will serve prison time and be chemically castrated at the end of their sentences.
