The Criminal Court has sentenced a man to 14 years in jail for molesting a 16-year-old boy.
Ahmed Ibrahim, 38, of Lhaviyani Atoll Naifaru Island, was caught in a Malé City guesthouse with the boy in September 2012.
The Maldives Police Services say Ibrahim has a previous record of homosexuality and child abuse.
In 2002, Ibrahim was sentenced to nine months banishment and 15 lashes in public for homosexuality, the police said. While serving his sentence on Alif Alif Atoll Thoddoo Island, Ibrahim was caught sexually abusing another 16-year-old boy.
