A 19-year-old has been arrested in India for allegedly raping another woman in a first-of-its-kind case after the Supreme Court decriminalised same sex relations in September last year.
Shivani, of New Delhi, faces claims that she forced the victim to have intercourse with her by using a sex toy while two men, Rohit and Rahul, pinned the woman down, Karkardooma District Court heard.
According to News18, the victim said she was subjected to repeated sexual and physical assaults from March 2018.
‘The trio forced me to have sex with them. Then it became a gang affair. Soon, I was sent to serve clients and the accused woman was always there in the apartment,’ the victim added.

‘My rapist was not forced to rape me. She was deriving pleasure out of it. I want her punished along with the other two.’

Charged under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act, Shivani was questioned by police before being sent to Tihar jail. The two men have also been imprisoned.
The section previously included laws against consensual homosexual sexual acts before it was decriminalised by India’s highest court last September.

As such, the change in law left the Seemapuri Police Station unsure how to proceed when the victim first reported Shivani in October last year.
The station house officer said at the time: ‘Because Section 377 was struck down by the Supreme Court, there are no legal provisions under which a woman can be charged if she is accused of raping another woman.’
However, the victim’s lawyer Priyanka Dagar successfully insisted the section must be applied against the accused as she ‘did not have [the woman’s] consent’.
Ms Dagar explained only those portions of Section 377 that dealt with consensual sexual intercourse were decriminalised by the Supreme Court.
