It was only in the end that she reasoned as to why she was giving varied answers i.E. She never wanted to remember the incident,&#8221; Additional Sessions Judge Sanjay Sharma said.<\/p>\n<p>The court said the victim&#8217;s conduct was &#8220;highly natural&#8221; and not unnatural during examination.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any child who has undergone such a traumatic experience would not like to recapitulate the incident as it would be much more traumatic and can even go a step forward to damage her psyche in future. Thus, her conduct during examination was not unnatural but highly natural,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>The court, which is yet to pronounce order on sentence, held Ashok Jha, the victim&#8217;s neighbour, guilty of offences under sections 376(2)(f)(raping a woman who is under 12 years of age), 451(house-trespass) and 506(criminal intimidation) of IPC and section 4 (sexual assault) of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.<\/p>\n<p>The court&#8217;s verdict came in a case of rape of a minor girl while she was sleeping in her house on the afternoon of December 14, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint lodged by the victim&#8217;s mother had alleged that the girl was in her shanty with her two siblings when Jha, their neighbour, raped and threatened to kill her.<\/p>\n<p>It further said the incident took place when her mother was not at home and when she returned, the victim told her about the same and the accused was arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The court, while convicting Jha, also relied on the medical report of the victim which proved penetrative sexual assault was committed.<\/p>\n<p>It also noted that during examination the girl made inconsistent statements which conclude that &#8220;an attempt was made to make her hostile initially, but with the sustained and positive questioning by the prosecutor and the court, the truth was extracted from her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It said the possibility of her being tutored to mitigate the act of the accused cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>During the trial, the accused had pleaded innocence and claimed he was falsely implicated.<\/p>\n<p>However, the court rejected his claim, saying he could not attribute any ulterior motive upon the victim or her parents for this implication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man accused of raping a 12-year -old girl has been convicted by a Delhi court which relied on her testimony despite her varied
