Pune, August 22: In a startling incident, a woman coerced her minor neighbour into having a sexual relationship with her between May 2021 and November 2022. She had recorded the explicit act and threatened to use the youngster as leverage by letting the video go viral online.

Both the perpetrator and the victim, according to the police, reside in Kondhwa's Shivraj Chowk. The youngster eventually lost patience with the woman harassing him, so he plucked up the guts to tell his mother what had happened. She then went to the Kondhwa police with a complaint. Thane: Teacher Arrested for Molesting 5-Year-Old Boy in Kalyan School.

The 17-year-old victim lives adjacent to the accused residence and is a class XII student. In 2021, the woman's spouse passed away from COVID-19. The woman, despite knowing that the victim was a juvenile, coerced the teenager into a physical relationship, harassed him sexually, and even filmed the obscene acts on her mobile phone.

According to the authorities, she even threatened to make the video viral and accuse the youngster of rape and sexual assault. The minor, terrified, bowed to her demand and kept the harassment by the woman a secret. But after working up the guts to tell his mother about it, the victim disclosed that the accused had captured the horrible crime on camera and stored it on her phone. Burari Rape Case: Rape Accused Official Was Relieved From OSD Post Long Back, Says Delhi Govt.
