|February 27, 2025
The case is about sexual assault of a 5-year-old by a 39-year-old school attender
In a recent judgment under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, a local court said that the sole testimony of a minor victim, if consistent and credible, is sufficient to establish guilt in cases of sexual assault.
The case pertained to the sexual abuse of a five-year-old UKG student at a private school in Kothapet in 2022, where a 39-year-old school attender, Velishala Sudhakar, was sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment. The victim, during her testimony, identified Sudhakar as the "uncle" who lured her to an unfamiliar room during snack time, touched her body and private parts and fled when she resisted by slapping him.
