There has been an increase in the trade of illicit content including use of the dark net. Therefore, the global response to internet child pornography and safeguarding children from sexual abuse requires a collaborative strategy and standardisation of domestic legislation across the world.

The child, who was just 5 years old, experienced exceptional depravity and extreme brutality, the court said.

Expelled BJP MLA, Kuldeep Sengar, has been convicted for raping a woman in Unnao in 2017. Here is all you need to know about the case.

Prasad's comment came in the backdrop of nationwide outrage over the alleged rape and murder cases at Hyderabad and Unnao.

President Kovind said every parent and citizen must strengthen among boys the sense of respect towards women.

The 15-year-old girl was abducted by four men, taken to a forest where she was gang-raped.

The blood-stained body of the minor girl was found half a kilometre from her school in Tonk district.

After raping her, the accused made the girl consume contraceptive pills. He also threatened her with dire consequences if she revealed the incident to anyone.

The Supreme Court said the Centre would have to appoint trained, sensitised prosecutors and support persons to deal with the POCSO cases.

The senior TMC leader, Derek O' Brien, recalled that he did not speak about the incident for several years, and brought it up with his parents much later in the life.
