CHENNAI: A mahila court on Friday sentenced a woman and two others to 10 years rigorous imprisonment and seven years rigorous imprisonment, to be served concurrently, for forcing her juvenile daughters into prostitution.
Additional sessions judge Meena Sathish slapped a penalty of Rs 35,000 on Jaya Shree from Madurai and Rs 20,000 each on Kannan and Anand, both hailing from Puducherry. Another accused, Tamilvanan, hailing from Puducherry, died during the course of the trial.
International Justice, an NGO, lodged a complaint with the CB-CID in 2005 alleging that Jaya Sree had forced her juvenile daughters into prostitution with the help of Kannan, Anand and Tamilvanan.
Police booked them on charges of kidnapping, selling minors for the purpose of prostitution and immoral trafficking for prostitution and filed a chargesheet before the additional sessions judge on completion of the investigation.
The judge passed the order after examining 14 witnesses and other evidence produced by the prosecution.
