A judicial magistrate sentenced a young man to nine years in prison for sharing “indecent” photos and videos of his ex-fiance on social media.
The verdict was issued by the Judicial Magistrate South in a case registered under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA).
The accused, Muhammad Shoaib, was found guilty and sentenced to nine years of imprisonment, along with a fine of Rs90,000.
The court noted that Shoaib had a prior conviction in a similar case in 2017, with his appeal still pending before the Sindh High Court (SHC).
In its remarks, the court stated that the accused had been harassing the woman by disseminating inappropriate pictures and videos online, intentionally damaging her reputation.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) disclosed that the accused was previously engaged to the victim and released the material after their engagement ended.
