The charges under Section 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 are each punishable by up to 20 years and whipping, as well as police supervision of up to three years, if convicted.

He is also required to present himself to the nearest police station every month while he is not allowed to disturb the victim or any of the witnesses or his bail would be withdrawn.
