Overturned convictions in the United States

A man who was accused of sexually assaulting a mother in a minibus in Istanbul has been sentenced to five years in jail. 

A young woman in western Turkey has died after her boyfriend raped her while she lay comatose, the prosecution said in an indictment, asking the court to jail the man for up to 43 years.

A woman and her former lover have been handed maximum prison sentences for the sexual and physical abuse of underage children. According to testimony, the woman repeatedly abused two of her own sons, who are now age 10 and 12, and watched as her lover at the time physically abused and performed sexual acts on them.

A teacher in the northern town of Serres was sentenced to 13 years in prison by a Thessaloniki appeals court for sexually molesting a teenage student.

The court overruled an earlier court decision in November 2015 that found the 52-year-old man innocent due to a lack of sufficient evidence.

An 85-year-old man was arrested in Thessaloniki Friday on charges of sexually molesting a 14-year-old boy. According to reports, the two met in February and the old man would pay the boy between 5 and 10 euros each time they met.

Police were notified after suspicious neighbors of the 85-year-old filed a complaint at the Smile of the Child nonprofit organization.
