Warrants against German mother, daughter to depose in court

Goa Children's Court President P V Sawaikar said that warrants be issued to the minor victim and her mother, who are currently in Germany, to remain present in the court for deposition.

Goa Education Minister Atanasio Monserratte's son, Rohit is accused of sexually abusing a minor German girl in 2008.

The mother had filed police complaint on October 2, 2008 and Rohit surrendered on November 4 after being on the run.

The medical examination on the girl had confirmed sexual abuse.

From the beginning of the prosecution, the Court has been facing problems to get the deposition of the duo.

In the past, two warrants were issued against duo, and both the times, they refused to co-operate.

In August, the mother, through an e-mail communication to the court had said that she was not willing to continue with the case.
