The court observed that this kind of incident causes terror in the mind of such victims and their families.
A special court in Mumbai has sentenced a 20-year-old man to three years jail for pulling a "dupatta" (stole) of a school-going girl with "sexual intent", and observed that this kind of incident causes terror in the mind of such victims and their families.
The man was found guilty of offences committed under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 506 (criminal intimidation) as well as relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) Act by special judge Priya Bankar on Tuesday. The detailed order was available on Wednesday.
The prosecution said the victim was studying in Class 10 and was 15 years old when the incident took place in 2017 in suburban Mumbai.
The judge, in her order, noted that there is a rise in sexual offences against children. There is a very adverse impact of the incident on the victim girl, on her family members and even on the society. They are under the impression that the house and nearby vicinity is not safe for children and it is going to cause an alarming situation in the society, the judge noted.
