Udupi Additional District and Sessions Judge, Fast Track Sessions Court, Yermal Kalpana, on Tuesday sentenced 30-year-old Venkatesh to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) on finding him guilty of sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl.

After a complaint, the then Sub-Inspector of Karkala Rural Police Station Nanja Naika arrested Venkatesh. The then Karkala Circle Inspector Joy Antony filed the charge-sheet.
