Increased Prison Sentence in Child Sexual Abuse Case
February 26, 2026
The Court of Appeals increased the prison sentence of the father convicted of sexually abusing a minor from 13 to 15 years. This decision came after an appeal by the Attorney General, who deemed the initial sentence insufficient. The abuse was reported five years after it occurred. The defendant was found guilty on six charges, including rape. The child was forced to leave their family and required psychological support due to the consequences of the father's actions.
