Man Convicted of Sexual Assault on 14-Year-Old Girl: A Nine-Year-Delayed Justice

A man was found guilty of disrobing, sexually assaulting, and outraging the modesty of a 14-year-old girl in an incident that occurred nine years ago. The court ruled that the prosecution successfully proved the charges, with the victim's consistent testimony and her father's corroboration making a strong case.

A man has been convicted of disrobing and sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl nine years after the incident. Additional Sessions Judge Amit Sahrawat delivered the judgment, finding the accused guilty of house trespass and sexual assault under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act.

The court noted that the victim had consistently maintained her account of the assault, which was corroborated by her father, an eyewitness to the incident. This consistency reinforced the reliability of her testimony.

Sentencing arguments will be scheduled at a later date, as the court emphasized the credibility of both the victim and her father in securing the conviction.
