Longer jail term for medium
<!-- by line --> By Khushwant Singh
A MEDIUM, who raped and sexually abused a friend's daughter since she was eight, had his jail term increased from 24 years to 32 years on Friday. The 60-year-old had been sentenced last July but the prosecution appealed against what it felt was a 'manifestly inadequate sentence' imposed by the High Court. The man is not being named to protect the identity of his victim. Asking the Court of Appeal to enhance the man's sentence on Friday, the prosecution pointed out this was one of the worst cases of sexual assault. 'Rape of a child of tender age is a despicable crime and the man had committed rape and other similar sexual offences on no less than 43 separate offences,' stated Deputy Public Prosecutor Bala Reddy in the prosecution's submissions.
