A 68-year-old man who sexually abused a fourth-grade schoolgirl inside a school van over a decade ago has been sentenced to 25 years of rigorous imprisonment by the Colombo High Court.
The verdict was delivered by High Court Judge R.S.S. Sapuwida,.
The convicted individual, a father of one, had been employed as a driver transporting children to a well-known school.
