The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 28 Jan 2021The Bombay High Court recently acquitted a man, accused of luring a 12-year-old into his house, groping her and trying to disrobe her, of the charge of sexual assault, on the ground that there was no skin-to-skin contact, and, instead, found him guilty of the lesser charge of outraging the modesty of a woman.
The case has many layers, like an onion, and removing each layer can make you cry. It is a crime against a child, it is a sexual crime against a child, it involves defining sexual assault, it calls into question the propriety of mandatory minimum sentencing, it calls for deliberation on the deterrent power of maximalist penalties on the very likelihood of someone being found guilty.
