Judge AKM Abul Kashem of the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal has ordered the State to bear the responsibility of the child conceived after the rape.
 
The order convicting Abdus Sattar on Sunday came after the 13-year-old was violated on May 12, 2009.
 
Three were accused by the victim’s father in the case started at Durgapur Police Station on May 20 that year, said Public Prosecutor GM Khan Pathan Bimal.

All three were charged in court on Aug 20 following police’s investigation but the other two men have been acquitted.

“The young victim gave birth to a baby boy. The court has ordered the state to take his responsibility,” the lawyer said.
