 "summary": "Special Judge Rekha R of the Fast Track Special Court (POCSO), Thiruvananthapuram found former police sub-inspector guilty of sexually assaulting a [name withheld] and sentenced him to six years' rigorous imprisonment with a Rs 25,000 fine. The child, daughter of a deceased police constable living with her mother in the police quarters, had come to the accused's quarters seeking information for a children's club event when he put his hands around her, forced her onto his lap and demanded a kiss. The court relied on the victim's reliable testimony with the s.30 POCSO presumption, held positive career records are no evidence of good character, and convicted him for sexual assault by a police officer plus sexual harassment.",
 "court_quote": "On evaluating the entire evidence adduced by the prosecution, it can be concluded that prosecution succeeded in proving that accused who was known and identified as a police officer committed sexual assault on PW 1 at 5 to 5.15 pm at his quarters.",
