Abstract

Child sexual abuse is a common and a serious problem in every society. The majority of sexual assault cases are never reported to avoid social stigma and the number of reported sexual assault is very small. We attempt to highlight a case of sodomy and strangulation, which is of rare occurrence in the Gwalior district of Madhya Pradesh. In this case a child who died from strangulation after sexual assault, sustained abrasion injury over the anal region and multiple injuries all over the body.
