New Delhi: Law makers must consider re-defining the offence of rape to deal with different categories of accused, a Delhi court said on Tuesday while awarding 10 years' jail to a 19-year-old florist guilty of digital rape of an 80-year-old woman.
Prahlad used his fingers to sexually assault the victim, abandoned by her family, in north Delhi's Tri Nagar area in 2011. The court has awarded a compensation of Rs 50,000 to the victim.
Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau while sentencing the convict said: "Indian legislators need to step in and think about having a re-look at the definition of rape so as to specifically include the instances of digital rape/male rape/anal rape."
The prosecution said that Prahlad raped the victim using unnatural means past midnight May 19, 2011. The octogenarian victim lived in a park in Tri Nagar.
The court directed the Delhi government to grant a compensation of Rs 50,000 to the rape victim.
