 The Hindu : Former Ministers among accused
Going through the case diary, it becomes clear that the Kothamangalam sex scandal has wider ramifications than the Suryanelli incident in view of the long list of the accused and the years of torture the minor victim had undergone when she was traded to a variety of ``power lobbyists'' for financial gain.
After almost a year-long sexual exploitation, when she was dumped near her house at Kothamangalam by the kingpins of the sex racket, her parents first refused to admit her but relented when the girl explained that she had been working in a prawn peeling shed.
Because of her mental and physical condition, she was taken to the Divine Meditation Centre at Muringoor and it was at the instance of the Christian fathers there that she dared to give a complaint in October, 1997 to the police.
