3 Pedophile (Child Sexual Abuse)

The pedophile offence-family — the Code and the Children's Act, 2075 (the child-protection statute) together (by principle): sexual abuse of a child (the touching/exposure/exploitation offences short of intercourse), child rape (the gravest grade — the young-age bands), child sexual exploitation: child pornography (production, distribution, possession), the exploitation of children in prostitution and entertainment, child sex tourism (the offender travelling to abuse — Nepal's orphanage-and-tourism scandals' criminal answer), grooming (the online era: the contacting-to-abuse offence). The prescribed authorities (with the syllabus's annotations): • Triratna Chitrakar v. GoN, NKP (2066 B.S.), No. 5, p. 784 — case related to the sexual abuse of children; • Hendric Otto v. GoN, NKP (2069 B.S.), No. 7, p. 1076 — case related to the sexual abuse of children (the foreign-national child-abuse prosecution — the era's international child-protection cooperation era in Nepali courts). The machinery around the offence: the child-friendly justice procedure (the Children's Act's in- camera, closed-courtroom, child-forensic-interview protocols); the mandatory reporting by child- care institutions; the orphanage-reform aftermath (the child-care home registration and monitoring regime — the abuse-scandal legislation).
