A Delhi court has sentenced a youth, who was in Class XII when he had repeatedly raped a junior girl from the same school and filmed the acts, to 10 years’ rigorous imprisonment, observing that the survivor’s consent in this case did not matter as she was a minor.
“There is an old saying that a witness can lie, but not a document,” the court said, noting the contents of the video clips brought on record. The accused was over 18 years of age.
“The child victim appears normal and… had shown her private parts (to the accused) though initially she resisted. However, as she is less than 18 years, her consent is immaterial,” additional sessions judge Pritam Singh said.
