In a Major Judgment, 21 Customers are Convicted for Buying Minors for Sex
In a significant legal victory, a specialized child protection court in Kolkata convicted 21 men who paid for commercial sex from minors at a brothel in 2017. Five years after their arrest, all 21 men pled guilty and were convicted and sentenced on June 8, 2022. A separate trial continues for the brothel owner, traffickers, and managers who were selling 26 victims at one of the city’s hotels. Government officials, anti-trafficking agencies, and IJM staff are applauding this momentum-building judgment. This is only the second time a court in West Bengal state has convicted customers for commercial sex—a strong step forward in deterring demand for minors. -
