A 50-year-old grandfather has been sentenced to 30 months imprisonment by the Levuka Magistrates Court after being convicted of indecent assault.
The 18-year-old granddaughter was going to the village when she saw her grandfather.
When she approached her grandfather, he pulled her to the grass, closed her mouth and fondled her breast.
Magistrate Shageeth Somaratne stated that being a grandfather, the man had a moral duty to protect and guide his grandchildren but he failed miserably.
A non-parole period of 20 months has been set.
