A New Bedford physician was sentenced to 12 years in state jail for raping a boy he met and groomed on-line.
“The defendant was convicted of extremely disturbing and demented conduct involving a very vulnerable fourteen-year-old boy,” Bristol District Lawyer Thomas Quinn III stated in a press release. “He preyed on the victim by exchanging pornographic pictures that resulted in the defendant raping the victim in a motel. The sentence imposed by the court was well deserved.”
A Bristol Superior Courtroom jury in Fall River on Tuesday convicted Sujan Kayastha, 42, of Dartmouth, on a number of costs associated to rape of a kid and baby pornography. The decide sentenced him on Tuesday to 12 years in jail to be adopted by 5 years of supervised probation.
Prosecutors say that Kayastha, who on the time labored as a medical physician at St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, met his male sufferer on-line in September 2018 and exchanged nude pictures and movies, at the same time as he knew that it was a minor baby.
Kayastha escalated the crime to the actual world on Dec. 6 of that yr, prosecutors say, by driving to Attleboro and selecting the boy up from a bunch dwelling. He then drove the kid to the Shangri-La Motel in Seekonk and paid the boy $200 “to engage in a sex act with him.”
The crime was unearthed when an worker on the group dwelling reported suspected sexual exploitation of the boy to Attleboro Police, in accordance with the DA’s workplace. Investigators uncovered the net communications between Kayastha and the boy in addition to the kid pornography.
