Mumbai: School trustee sent to 7 day police custody for 'raping' four-year-old girl

Patrick Brilliant, trustee of an international school arrested under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) act, sent to 7 day police custody. He was booked on the charge of sexually abusing a four-year-old.

The case was registered after the child's mother noticed unusual behaviour of her daughter, and on showing her the school website, the child pointed to the photograph of the accused as the one who had touched her inappropriately.

A female class teacher who was aware of the crime, but did nothing to stop it, has also been booked for abetting the crime.

Meanwhile, Patrick released a statement to the parents of the school victim, saying that the allegations against him were unfounded.

A case under Sections 376 (2) of the Indian Penal Code for rape, and under relevant Sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, has been registered at MIDC police.
