The Colombo High Court today sentenced two individuals, who were convicted for abducting and gang-raping a minor girl, to ten years Rigorous Imprisonment.
The Attorney General had indicted the accused on two counts for gang-raping a girl, who was below 16-years-old at the time of the incident, in Buttala on September 26, 2002.
High Court Judge Sampath Abeykoon also imposed an indemnity of Rs. 100,000 on convicts to be paid to the victim. (Shehan Chamika Silva)

Not really. Rape is not as serious as murder for example. I am not condoning rape in any way, but the punishment should suit the crime.

justice 16 years after they committed the crime. Must be a record by any standards.

This is a good example, how judicial system of SL works. 16 years all lawyers sucked money and blood from both sides, and nothing left, the verdict given.

Aducting and gang raping an under age girl, it should be death sentence and nothing less. Castrate the men who were found guilty.Any female will agree, killing is better than raping.Too lenient judgement.

This is a contract business where both the criminal and the victim has to pay the law makers which is their bread and butter.
