A Pocso court in Pune has convicted and sentenced a 52-year-old man to 25 years' rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting his school-going daughter (14) between Oct 2017 and March 2018.
The special court, set up under the Pocso Act ( Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act , 2012), also sentenced the accused to two years' rigorous imprisonment for sexual harassment . The two sentences are to run together. The court fined the convict Rs 25,000 and directed the district legal services authority to provide compensation to the survivor.
The prosecution's case was that the girl had told her mother that she was not willing to stay with her father and had even refused to appear for her SSC exams. She had narrated her ordeal after attending sessions on "good touch and bad touch" at school.
