The Permanent Criminal Court of Famagusta found a man guilty of the sexual abuse of his partner's child. The charges include 29 counts of sexual abuse, production and possession of child pornography, as well as psychological harm to the victim. The accused committed these acts from when the child was 13 until just before they turned 16. The sentence will be announced later after the defense's plea for leniency. The proceedings were held behind closed doors due to the sensitivity of the matter.
