Those convicted of child abuse do not deserve leniency: HC

The Bombay High Court has said that people convicted of child abuse do not deserve any leniency, adding that victims of such crimes often suffer life-long post-traumatic stress disorders. The court made the observation while rejecting the bail plea of a 75-year-old man convicted of sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl. It added that sexual crimes, especially against minors, are sinister.
