A 22-year-old man who was convicted to one count of sexual assault has been sentenced to two years imprisonment by High Court Judge Justice Aruna Aluthge.
The man sexually assaulted a 15-year-old form 3 student between the 31st of May to the 1st of June, 2012 in Lautoka.
The accused was staying at the girl's place when the incident happened.
While passing down the sentence, Justice Aluthge said the man did not show remorse by not admitting that he committed the offence.
Justice Aluthge said the girl was emotionally disturbed and had difficulty in reporting the matter to any relatives as the accused was an influential man in the household.
The man has been given a non-parole period of 12 months.
