A sessions court in Peshawar has  handed a total of 105 years in prison to a private school’s principal on charges of child abuse, pornography, rape, blackmail and maintaining illicit relations. Attaullah Marwat, was also fined Rs1.4 million in addition to the jail terms.

The accused, who is also the private school’s owner, was arrested after police registered a case against him on July 14, 2017, on the complaint of a male student, who had accused him of sexually exploiting schoolchildren, including girls, and filming them with secret cameras installed on campus. Marwat was found guilty of all charges and handed various jail sentences under each section — resulting in a total prison term of 105 years. One of the charges against the convict was that he had forced, persuaded, coerced and enticed female students under the age of 18 to engage in sexual activities and exposed their bodies, and was involved in explicit sexual conduct and abuse of minor schoolgirls. Marwat was also charged capturing those acts on his mobile phones.
