A 49-year-old educator from Hindikiwula has been handed an eight-year prison term following her conviction on three counts of sexually abusing a 14-year-old student. The ruling was issued by the Monaragala High Court regarding an incident that occurred in 2019, during which the teacher reportedly brought the minor to her residence. In addition to the incarceration, the court mandated that the defendant pay a fine of 50,000 rupees. Furthermore, she is required to provide 250,000 rupees in compensation for each of the three charges, resulting in a total payment of 750,000 rupees to the victim. The legal proceedings against the mother of two were initiated by the Attorney General’s Department.
