On October 28, 2026, a 42\u2011year\u2011old resident of Brazil Village was sentenced to six years in prison after a judge\u2011only trial found him guilty of sexually touching a 10\u2011year\u2011old child. The High Court judge, Nalini Singh, delivered the sentence in the Central Division, underscoring the seriousness of protecting minors.<\/p>\n
The accused was arrested on September 17, 2023, following an incident that took place between September 15 and 16, 2023. A sufficiency hearing on September 19, 2025, established a prima facie case, allowing the trial to proceed without a full jury.<\/p>\n
