Man gets 20-yr prison term for sodomising teen

Kendrapada: A fast-track special Pocso court in Kendrapada has sentenced a 55-year-old man to 20 years of imprisonment for sodomising a 14-year-old boy three years ago.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on the convict, Soudagar Sahoo. Failure to pay the fine would result in an additional two years of imprisonment. The court also directed the Odisha State Legal Services Authority (OSLSA) to pay a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the boy.
Ad-hoc additional sessions judge Tribikram Keshari Chinhara, while pronouncing the verdict, said the convict committed carnal intercourse against the order of nature with the minor.
The boy’s mother filed an FIR at the local police station on July 16, 2021, alleging Sahoo sodomized her son after dragging him to an isolated cowshed near the village while he was playing. He later threatened to kill the boy if he told anyone about the crime. After the FIR was registered, police arrested Sahoo.
