Uran police have registered a case against a 25-year-old woman and her 35-year-old boyfriend for asking a six-year-old boy to shoot a private video. A case was registered after the Panvel Sessions Court directed the police to do so as per the Free Press Journal report.
According to a police officer, the woman had filed a case of rape against her boyfriend. The video was presented in court as evidence during the trial. The court noticed that this video was shot by a third person. When the woman was asked about this, she said that this video was shot by her son. When interrogated, the boy said that he had done so at the behest of his 'uncle' (co-accused)."
"On learning that a minor had made two obscene videos, the court while hearing the bail application of the accused in the rape case directed the police to register an FIR, after which the Uran police registered a case on Tuesday", the police informed.
A case has been filed under POCSO
The woman's husband had abandoned her and her son almost six months ago. Police said that no one has been arrested in this case yet. The accused have been booked under Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act, 2012 was enacted to provide a strong legal framework to protect children from crimes such as sexual harassment and pornography by protecting the interests of children at every stage. According to this law, the minimum sentence is ten years and the maximum sentence is life imprisonment (death in some cases). It is also difficult to get bail under this law. Moreover, because the case is being tried in the fast track court, the accused has been punished and this law has been violated.
