Abstract

Sodomy or ‘the sin of Sodom’ is anal intercourse between two males or between a male and a female. It is the commonest of the unnatural sexual offences. A report on five cases involving five minor boys, who were forced into anal sex (sodomy) by three boys in their late teens in a remote area of a North-Eastern State of India is reported. Considering the nature of such a crime and to emphasize the fact that no age is safe and young boys can also be victims of such type of unnatural sexual offences, this paper has been presented.
