Businessman Faces $10K Penalty Following Indecent Assault Conviction

Prakashcandra Lohar

A local business owner has been ordered to pay a total of $10,000 in fines and compensation following his conviction on two counts of indecent assault, according to a recent High Court ruling.

In a judgment delivered by Justice Ann Marie Smith, Prakashcandra Lohar was instructed to remit $8,000 in compensation to the victim by February 28, in addition to a $2,000 fine which has already been paid to the court.

The charges stem from an incident in February 2022 when Lohar offered a ride to a woman during inclement weather. Court records indicate that during this encounter, he engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct in the victim’s presence, leading to multiple charges of indecent assault.

The conviction was secured in 2024 following legal proceedings in the High Court.
