Child Protection Force Case No. 17
Court – Magistrates Court

Facts:
• This is one of the 3 cases that 15 year old D is a victim of.
His other cases are Child Protection Force Case No.s 19
(physical abuse) & 16 (Care & Protection)

• In this case his step father (also the accused of the physical
abuse case), is an aggressive man and always subjects the
family to domestic violence.

• The mother fled the house with the younger two kids and
dropped D at his teachers house to keep him safe.

• The teacher had to go out of town and called the house to
check if the mother was at home. The accused man told her
that the mother of D was at home and to drop D off.

• The teacher (who had no knowledge about the domestic
violence) dropped D at the house with the step-father.

• He took D to Pizza hut for dinner and bought back a bottle
of Coca-Cola and unknown to D mixed alcohol in the Coca
Cola and tried to make D Drink it. He didn’t.

• The accused then inserted a water hose into the anal
passage of D, apparently in order to clean the anal passage
before he would commit anal sex.

• He then committed anal sex on D until D fell unconscious
and didn’t know what happened to him until morning.

• The next day he went on a school trip. The teacher identified
that D was extremely quiet and uncomfortable and
discussed with the mother who came to pick D up.

• When D’s mother asked him he told her everything that had
happened.

• She immediately informed the Police and the case was filed
in Magistrates Courts.

• This incident happened in February 2018 and the case is still
at initial stages – awaiting advice from the Attorney-Generals
Department.

• The other cases – Child Protection Force Case No. 19, and
Child Protection Force Case No. 16 – is at trial stages.

• D’s mother is now a single mother. His biological father died
and his step father who is also the accused in these cases is
in jail finally after the hard work of the police and the team at
Child Protection Force.

• He lives in a rented tiny home with his mother and his two
half brothers.

• D’s mother is a hard working woman but finds it extremely
difficult to manage with her meager income.

How can you help :

• D also needs mental health assistance that costs Rs. 2000/-
per week. This is conducted by Child Protection Force.

• This particular Court case expense comes to Rs. 7500/- per
month until the case is over. (The end date unfortunately
cannot be stipulated by us)

• D loves to box and we have met an amazing coach who is
willing to conduct sessions at a discounted rate of Rs. 500/-
per session. This would be once a week.

• You could also sponsor for his education cost amounting to
Rs. 10,000/- per month. ❤️Rs. 6000/- out of this has
