A court in Tamil Nadu's Namakkal district has sentenced a rape accused to rigorous imprisonment of 34 years.
The man, identified as Sivakumar, is accused of raping a woman 10 years ago along with his associate.
Officials from the CB-CID wing of the state police said the accused took advantage of the woman's inability to repay his loan with interest. He then asked her to come for a meeting under the pretext of making her meet a film director for a role in a movie.
The man and his associate, identified as Aamayan, then sexually assaulted her and uploaded a video of the crime on the internet, the officials said.
The second accused, however, died during the course of the trial.
The charge sheet was filed on August 23, 2011 -- more than a year after the case was registered.
The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 13,000 on the convict besides directing the state government to pay a relief of Rs five lakh to the woman.
