An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Lagos has sentenced a man, David Charles, to eight years imprisonment for assaulting and treating a 10-year-old minor indecently.
Justice Rahman Oshodi sentenced Charles on Tuesday after pleading guilty to the amended two-count charge of assault and indecent treatment of a child.
In his judgment, Oshodi held that the court had carefully considered the facts of the case, the plea bargain agreement and the provisions of the law.
The court, therefore, sentenced him to seven years imprisonment on count one, and a year imprisonment on count two.
