Sexual Offenders

The 'Nadigar Sangam', the union representing film, television, and stage actors in Tamil Nadu, has passed a resolution following a meeting of its Gender Sensitisation and Internal Committee on Wednesday.

A female can also face criminal proceedings under POCSO for committing the offence of "penetrative sexual assault" on a child, and the offence is not restricted to only male offenders, the Delhi High Court has held.

A court in New Delhi has sentenced a priest to 15 years of rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting a boy in 2016, saying the gravity of the offence was exacerbated because the offender sexually exploited a 15-year-old working as a regular volun

The girl was sexually abused by ten minors on up to three occasions between April 2 and April 6 over the Easter holidays.

A 39-year-old Indian-origin man has been jailed for 16 weeks and placed on the sexual offenders register for seven years after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman while travelling on a train from Birmingham to London.

The judge emphasized that their "greatest concern" revolved around defendants convicted of rape being allowed to remain on bail rather than being swiftly jailed.

Delhi High Court has directed 'Organiser' magazine to remove from its website an "offending" and prima facie "defamatory" article with allegations of sexual intimacy and exploitation of nuns and Hindu women associated with a church

An Indian-origin repeat sex offender was sentenced to 18 years of preventive detention and 12 strokes for the sexual assault of a maid in Singapore, a media report said on Tuesday.

Leon Black's lawyers said the allegations were "totally made up," suggesting they had been brought by a law firm with a vendetta.

"The November 30 order in which the court had directed the Centre to ensure that the offending video is taken down immediately has been complied with," the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) submitted in Delhi High Court

The non-reporting of sexual assault against a minor despite knowledge is a "serious crime" and an attempt to shield the offenders, the Supreme Court said on Wednesday.

The Union home ministry has gathered the details of more than 10.69 lakh sexual offenders in the country and their profiles are available with the law-enforcement agencies on a real-time basis to probe new offences.

A New Zealand-led global investigation into online child sexual abuse material identified more than 90,000 accounts, led to the arrest of hundreds of offenders worldwide and safeguarded 146 children, authorities said on Wednesday.

A man accused in a sexual assault case, who was admitted to a COVID hospital in Badaun after testing positive for coronavirus, died of injuries that he suffered while trying to escape from the facility by jumping out of a window of an isolation ward, an official said on Saturday.

Courts cannot ignore issuing notice to survivors in sexual assault cases while deciding bail pleas of offenders, the Delhi High Court has held, noting that survivors were not being informed in a majority of matters.
