At the Bayrampaşa Bus Station in Istanbul, 16-year-old Berkay Ş. started working as a bus attendant last year. While cleaning the inside of the bus before departing for Kayseri in the evening, he was allegedly sexually harassed by the driver, Naci K. After the unfortunate boy reported the situation to the police, the perverted driver was arrested and sentenced to 8 years in prison.
Last year, Berkay Ş. (16) started working as a helper at the Istanbul Bayrampaşa Bus Station. In the evening, before departing for Kayseri, he began cleaning the inside of the bus. Meanwhile, the bus driver Naci K. (58) entered, lowered the vehicle's camera, and called Berkay Ş. to the back of the bus under the pretext of checking the refreshments.
According to the allegations, driver Naci K. harassed the young boy. During this time, the driver touched Berkay Ç.'s hip and tried to pull down his pants. However, Berkay Ç. did not allow this, got out of the vehicle, called the police, and filed a complaint against the suspect driver. The suspect Naci K. was arrested by the court to which he was referred by the prosecutor's office.
DENIED THE ALLEGATIONS
According to a report in Sabah; the suspect Naci K. stated in his testimony that he did not know the complainant beforehand, that he worked alongside him as a helper, and that on the day of the incident, the complainant came to him asking for money, to which he replied that he would pay upon returning from Kayseri and went to the restroom. He claimed that when he returned, the police had arrived and he denied the allegations.
LAWSUIT WITH A REQUEST FOR 10 YEARS IN PRISON
After the completion of the investigation by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, an indictment was prepared. A lawsuit was filed against the suspect Naci K. for 'Child Abuse by Means of Harassment' with a request for 10 years in prison. The indictment noted that the complainant's consistent statements had no reason to be false, that there was no animosity between them, and that sufficient suspicion had arisen to file a lawsuit.
WILL SERVE 8 YEARS IN PRISON
The court was held recently at the Istanbul Heavy Penal Court. During the hearing, the detained Naci K. was brought from prison. The complainant Berkay Ş. and his lawyer also attended the hearing. In the opinion, it was assessed that the complainant's statements indicated that the suspect's actions were not simple harassment but were carried out with sexual intent for bodily pleasure. It was requested that the suspect's detention status continue and that he be punished under the relevant article. After the parties' defenses, the court concluded the case. The defendant Naci K. was sentenced to 8 years in prison.
