New Delhi: An Australian national, Warner Wulf Ingo, has been convicted for paedophilia and sentenced to 10 years RI by the sessions court in Goa. He has been convicted under Section 377 of the IPC.
The court had convicted the 44-year-old Australian national on Saturday for paedophilia in connection with a racket busted in Goa 16 years ago.
Freddy Peats, the main accused in the racket, was convicted in March 1996, but died in April 2005 while in prison.
The racket had been investigated by local police before being handed over to the CBI as per the orders of Goa Bench of the Bombay High Court.
This was done after Mumbai-based child rights activist Sheela Barse approached the court, complaining that police were not serious in their probe.
Ingo, an accomplice of Peats, was an important link in the paedophilia racket, which operated under the garb of the Gurukul Orphanage at Fatorda, a small town in Margao, according to CBI charge-sheet.
Ingo was held in Sydney and brought to India in 2005. The Margao police busted the racket that had operated for a decade in 1991.
