 "summary": "The Special Judge (POCSO), Shillong, in Special (POCSO) Case No. 10 of 2014, convicted then-Ampati OC for molesting and raping two minor sisters (aged 13 and 17), holding him guilty under the POCSO Act, 2012 and the IPC; judgment was delivered 24 March 2022 and sentence pronounced 28 March 2022. The girls had been detained at Ampati Police Station on 13 March 2013 and assaulted in the OC's chamber, and the elder was raped again at home on 31 March 2013. The Meghalaya High Court (Crl.A.No.12/2022, decided 22/03/2023) upheld the conviction and sentence, rejecting the defence that the survivors' alleged 'loose character' diminished the policeman's culpability.",
