Summary: A 15-year-old girl was brought to the home of a lawyer in India to serve as a domestic help but was instead treated as a sex slave.
A father and son, both lawyers, have been arrested for sexually abusing a young girl in Hyderabad, India. Sudhakar Reddy, 60, and his son Bharat Kumar Reddy, 30, had brought the girl on as a domestic help but instead repeatedly raped her. The girl, who is under 16, is reportedly pregnant.
The teen domestic help was brought from Suryapet six months ago to their family’s apartment in Greenhills Colony, the Chaitanyapuri area of the city. Sudhakar’s wife and daughter also live in the apartment with them.
The men have been charged with crime against children, rape and sexual assault, and bonded labor. The fathers oldest son, Tarak Ram Reddy was also charged with assaulting a neighbor because they suspected the neighbor of reporting them to authorities.
The young girl had no access to a phone and was not allowed to speak to her family. She allegedly complained about the assault a few months ago and was beaten for it. An electrician became aware of her condition and reported it to activists.
