PANJIM: A charge sheet has been filed against Goa Forward Party vice-president Atanasio (Babush) Monserrate for raping and wrongfully confining a former employee two years ago.
Crime Branch SP Kartik Kashyap confirmed that the charge sheet was filed on Wednesday in the District and Sessions Court. The charge sheet also names the victim’s mother and one Rosy who is said to have trafficked the girl.
Investigation into the high-profile case found evidence such as exchange of call details and messages between the politician and the minor victim, which have been added to the voluminous charge sheet.
The analysis of the cloned copy of the mobile of the accused had also revealed a number of photographs of the victim.
Monserrate has repeatedly denied the allegations against him claiming he has been falsely implicated as he had terminated the job of the girl after she was allegedly caught stealing cash.
