A Pennsylvania state appeals court has upheld Jesse John Krzan's five-to-10-year prison sentence for raping an unconscious woman, affirming the jury's conviction which resulted from a trial earlier this year. The court ruled that Krzan's pre-arrest silence could be questioned by prosecutors since he testified in his defense, highlighting inconsistencies in his statements. In Mumbai, the Bombay High Court reaffirmed the life sentence of Ramesh Gopnur, who sexually assaulted five minor girls over two years, emphasizing the strength of the evidence against him and dismissing claims of false accusations. Additionally, another ruling by the Bombay High Court upheld a conviction for a man who raped a 90% mentally retarded girl, condemning the crime as a significant violation of societal norms. Another case involved a man convicted for raping and impregnating a girl with Down syndrome, where DNA evidence linked him to the crime. Collectively, these cases underscore ongoing issues of sexual violence and the judicial system's responses in both the U.S. and India.
