Cyber-porn case accused convicted

Special Correspondent


Held guilty under

IT Act

Sentences to be pronounced on Thursday


CHENNAI: L. Prakash, an orthopaedic doctor involved in a cyber-porn case, has been convicted for several offences, including those under the Information Technology Act and the Arms Act, by a Fast Track Court here.

Fast Track Court-V Judge R. Radha, who found Dr. Prakash and three of his associates guilty of the offences, however, said the details of the sentences would be pronounced on Thursday.

The doctor was found guilty of conspiracy and kidnap, besides other offences under the provisions of the Information Technology Act, Immoral Trafficking Act, Indecent Representation of Women Act and the Arms Act. He was, however, acquitted of rape charge.

The Judge has altered the attempt-to-murder charge against the doctor to criminal intimidation. According to the prosecution, the doctor, who was running a clinic at Anna Nagar here, used a farm house at Kalanchikuppam near Ennore and a guesthouse at Valasaravakkam to detain girls and sexually exploit them with the help of the other accused. The accused took pictures of the girls and uploaded them on the Internet, the charge sheet said. He was also charged with threatening a girl with a revolver when she resisted him.
