SOUNDBITE: (English) Gita Kishore Vayude, Special Public Prosecutor: "I am happy with the judgement because under the camouflage of showering love and affection to the street children, the accused had sexually assaulted, abused the street children. They had shown them porno (sic) photographs and films and on showing those photographs, they had asked the little girls who were hardly eight to nine years old at the time of the incident to give different poses - they were asked to copy the different poses which were displayed on the laptop and thereafter their intention was to misuse... those photographs were taken for the purpose of circulation." 5.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Francis Saldanha, Defence lawyer: "Our defence has been that whenever these three minor girls in question were taken to the hotel resort by the Martis, it was done with the expressed permission and consent of the parents of the girls in question." 9. Exterior shot of the court STORYLINE : A judge in India has sentenced a Swiss couple to seven years imprisonment after finding them guilty of kidnapping, molesting and sexually abusing street children in the city of Bombay. William Marti, 59, and Lily Marti, 56, of Steinhausen, Switzerland, were arrested in 2000 for taking nude photographs of poor street children who approached them for food and money. In a judgement pronounced on Saturday, the court said it found the couple guilty of six charges including kidnapping, outraging the modesty of young children, attempting to destroy evidence and criminal intention to induce children to perform immoral acts. The judge also ordered the couple to pay compensation of 5,000 rupees (106 US dollars) each to three girls. The prosecution lawyer said the judgement was based on evidence that the Martis were taking, possessing and exhibiting photographs of the girls. The two years that the couple have spent in jail since their arrest would be counted as part of their sentences. Defence lawyer Francis Saldanha said the couple, who had pleaded not guilty, would appeal against the sentences. Police arrested the couple at an upscale Bombay resort in December 2000 while they were filming naked girls, aged eight to nine. The girls were among 21 witnesses who gave evidence at the trial over the past month. Prosecutors alleged the couple lured the children with toys, clothes and food. They told the court that the Martis took pornographic photographs of the children, and sent them to Web sites abroad.
