Man gets 20 years

A series of recent court rulings in India have resulted in significant sentences for individuals convicted of sexual offenses against minors. In Khammam, a 22-year-old man was sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping his 10-year-old neighbor in 2022, with a fine of Rs 50,000 imposed. Similarly, a Gujarat man received the death penalty for the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl, deemed a 'rarest of the rare' case. In another incident, a 32-year-old man in Jagtial was sentenced to 20 years for raping a four-year-old girl, bolstered by corroborative testimony from the child's brother. Additionally, a man in Greene County, Georgia, was sentenced to life plus 20 years for the aggravated assault and rape of a woman, described as one of the worst cases by law enforcement. These cases highlight ongoing issues of sexual violence against children and responses from the legal system aimed at addressing such crimes.
