Touched the bump with sexual intent comes under the POCSO and bump are the private part under Indian Society Admin Sat, Feb 20, 2021, at ,04:15 PM A court in Mumbai, hearing a case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, has convicted a 22-year-old man for touching a minor girl’s posterior, saying the gesture proves that it was done with sexual intent to outrage the child’s modesty. Observing that the term private part is to be interpreted in the context of what it means in “our society”, a special Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) court sentenced a 22-year-old man to 5year jail for touching a 10year-old girl’s posterior, reports Rebecca Samervel. Sessions judge of the special POCSO court M.A. Baraliya said the act of touching or patting a child’s buttocks attracts provisions of POCSO — a law meant to deal with cases of child abuse. Such an act, the judge added, was done with full knowledge and intention to outrage the child’s modesty, and to assault her sexually. She refused to go by the Google interpretation, as was suggested by the accused in his defense. the judge said “Google might not be interpreting bums as a private part, as mentioned by the accused’s advocate, but it is not an acceptable interpretation as far as we Indians are concerned,”
