NEW DELHI: A court here has sentenced a man to five years of rigorous imprisonment for committing aggravated sexual assault on a six-year-old boy in 2017.

Additional Sessions Judge Rajesh Kumar was hearing the arguments on the quantum of sentence against the 43-year-old man, who was earlier convicted under section 10 (aggravated sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Special Public Prosecutor Nimmi Sisodia sought maximum punishment, saying the convict had committed aggravated sexual assault on the victim by kissing him and touching his private parts.
