The convict had parted ways with her husband and was living alone at Nedumangad in Thiruvananthapuram. A few days before, she invited a handicapped boy from the same locality to her home and raped him.

Later, the father of the boy registered a complaint with Nedumangad police after he disclosed the incident to him. The police booked the woman under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) Act.
