In a troubling development, Faisalabad has recorded a staggering 663 cases of child sexual abuse in 2025, yet not a single conviction has been made in these cases, raising serious concerns about the justice system's efficacy. Official statistics reveal that 989 suspects were identified in these cases, but the legal process has been slow and ineffective. According to ProPakistani, 'Despite the high number of incidents, none of the accused in cases registered during the year has yet been punished by the courts.' The police dismissed 131 cases, while charge sheets were submitted in 344 cases, and 154 were sent to prosecutors with incomplete documentation. This pattern of delays and dismissals highlights a significant gap in the prosecution and investigation processes, as many cases remain pending or unresolved. The situation has not improved in 2026, with 57 new cases reported in January alone, involving 76 suspects, further indicating a continuing crisis in child protection in the region.
