The latter charge is a criminal offence under the Child Sex Abuse Special Provisions Act.

The investigation of the rape was concluded and sent to the Prosecutor General’s Office in April 2010, while the  investigation into the presence of the minor was was concluded in September the same year.

The case was investigated by the Villingili Police Station based on the island of Villingili in Gaa Alifu Atoll.

Local media Haveeru reported that time that the 26 year-old man was a grandson of the woman, who was half-paralysed.

In April 2011, a 19 year-old man was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 74 year-old elderly woman on the same island.

  2. good god. his freudian impulses got the better of him. 16 years seems too light a sentence given the sheer heinousness of the act.

  7. this headline is a bit misleading. it should say SIX years. that is what he got for raping his mother. the rest is for a different crime.

    and it is such a shame! shame shame shame! consensual sex between adults and sexual assault/rape are almost equal for us? public's views on the moral gravity these crimes are all messed up. ziney is ziney is ziney it seems. & in seriousness of these crimes in law...it is all the same. rape or even adultery is not even included in the penal cold despite being a common 'crime'. rather it is covered under a regulation.... see what i mean? http://prntscr.com/8au54
