A man aged 42 was sentenced to 15 years in closed jail because he sexually abused his five-year-old stepson. He didn’t admit his guilt, IPN reports.

According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the offender was in concubinage with a woman and lived with her and her three minors children in the same house. He physically and psychically constrained the child who was in his care, satisfying his sexual needs in a perverse form.

As a result of the sexual abuse, the boy had nightmares, fears and anxiety, asthenia and stress.

The sentence can be challenged in court within 15 days.
