punishment under POCSO punishment under POCSO

2 years ago

How can a court award life imprisonment to a man who was booked under POCSO act, in which a girl aged 16 accused man of touching inappropriately & asking for oral sex (considering that medical exam said hymen was intact or no marks found on body, also in FIR girl didn't used word "rape")?
Is just the statement of girl that "man touched inappropriately & asked for oral sex" enough under POCSO to punish man ?

A.Dear Sir,
The judgment and findings therein depends upon various factors and a judgment cannot be given on a single sentence of a victim. The prosecution has to prove and establish the charges alleged against the Accused.
