flag Delhi High Court upholds 10-year sentence for attempted sexual assault, rejecting torn hymen as sole proof.

flag The Delhi High Court ruled that a torn hymen is not conclusive proof of sexual assault, especially in attempted cases, upholding a man’s 10-year sentence for attempting to sexually assault his nine-year-old niece. flag The court emphasized that evidence like the victim’s testimony, parental statements, and DNA-matched semen stains on her clothing, along with forensic findings, established guilt beyond reasonable doubt. flag It rejected claims that an intact hymen or changed clothing before medical examination undermined the case, stating such factors do not create reasonable doubt. flag The decision reinforces that convictions must rely on a full body of evidence, not isolated physical indicators.
