9-yr-old defies mom, gets 'dad' 10-yr jail for rape
A Pocso court in Mumbai has convicted a 25-year-old man of raping the 9-year-old daughter of his live-in partner and sentenced him to 10 years jail. The court lauded the kid for standing her ground on the rape despite pressure from her mother, a sex worker, not to depose against the man. The rape had taken place in June 2017 when the woman had left the girl at a neighbour’s house to go to work.
