Shocking Case: Man Sentenced for Providing Drugs to Minors for Sexual Abuse

A shocking case has come to light in Nicosia, where a 40-year-old man has been charged with providing drugs (cannabis) to four minors with the intent of sexually abusing them. The man pleaded guilty to 21 charges, including indecent assault such as touching, on girls aged 12 to 16. The court sentenced him to five years in prison, considering his immediate confession and various mitigating factors. However, the severity of the crimes and the vulnerability of the victims are causing significant concern. According to the testimony, the man would pick up the girls in his car without their parents' knowledge, give them drugs, and then proceed with indecent acts.
