Until recently there was no law in nepal against child sexual abuse. In september 2002, an amendment to the country code created a new offence of "unnatural sexual relations with a minor." Depending on the age of the victim, either a boy or a girl, an offender can be sentenced up to 16 years in jail. However, nobody has been convited. Usually, the children don;t dare speak out. The police say it is not aware of paedophiles currently active in nepal. Ngos working with street children have stopped filing cases. the result is that issue doesn't get coverage in the nepali press.
