Upholding of Conviction for Sexual Abuse of Minor
December 17, 2025
The Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of a person to three and a half years in prison for the sexual abuse of a minor. The case stemmed from complaints by the girl's mother, which were first reported to the police years earlier. When the minor turned 16, she revealed the allegations and testified against the accused. The court ruled that corroborating evidence is not required for establishing child sexual exploitation and focused on the details provided by the complainant. Thus, it confirmed the credibility of her testimony despite the delays in filing the charges.
