CALIFORNIA, June 27: A Nepali engineer has been convicted of rape of his adopted daughter in California in the US.

District Attorney Jeff Reisig announced on Thursday that a Yolo County jury convicted 42-year-old Ajay Kumar Dev, a former Davis resident, of serial molest and rape of his adopted daughter. The violations occurred between January 1999 and December 2004.

Dev had immigrated to the Davis area with his parents when he was 13. He is a graduate of Chico State and worked for the California Water Resources Board as an engineer and was active in the Davis Nepali community.

In 1999 he and his wife brought the victim, a distant relative of Ajay, who at the time was 15 years old, to the United States. She was to live with them and go to school here ostensibly to give her a better education.

The victim had been officially adopted by Dev and his wife in December of 1999 and, according to the victim´s testimony, Dev began inappropriately touching her within the first couple of weeks of her arrival and later progressed to forced sexual assault and rape on a weekly basis. The assaults continued after the victim turned 18 and was attending Sacramento City College but still lived in the Dev household.

The victim moved out of the home in December of 2004, and Mr. Dev continued to try to sexually abuse the victim and even offered to pay her to do so. Mr Dev threatened to get a gun and shoot himself and the victim if she didn´t allow him to continue to abuse her, which ultimately led to the victim reporting the situation to law enforcement.

Detective Mark Hermann of the Davis Police Department was assigned the case and while interviewing the victim he had her call the defendant on the phone. During the recorded phone call, the victim engaged him in a conversation about the abusive relationship and whether she should tell her school counselor that he, Mr Dev, was the cause of her three abortions. What ensued was a conversation where Mr. Dev admitted the abuse and ultimately tried to talk the victim out of reporting it.

A search warrant that was served on the Dev home in Davis found child pornography on the computers. This confirmed the victim´s story that Dev had shown her such pornography prior to some of the assaults.

The case against Dev was not filed until two years later, however, because the victim had returned to Nepal to attend her sister´s wedding and was imprisoned there on charges brought about by a relative of the defendant´s alleging that she had the wrong date of birth on her passport.

After court proceedings in Nepal that lasted a year and a half, she was finally issued a new passport and, with help from law enforcement and the US Embassy in Nepal, she was able to return to the United States, at which time charges were filed. While she had been in Nepal, Dev had traveled to Nepal and phoned her telling her to drop the charges and not to return to the United States.

The trial lasted for two months. After the jury deliberated for one week, Dev was convicted of 76 felony counts including 23 counts of forcible rape; 23 counts of forcible sexual assault; 27 counts of lewd acts with a minor; and 3 counts of attempting to dissuade a witness.

The jury hung on three of the counts and returned not guilty verdicts on 13 others. Mr Dev, who was remanded to custody without bail after having been free on bail for the three years it took to get the case to trial, faces between 72 and 392 years in prison. Sentencing is set for August 7, 2009 in Dept. 2 before Judge Timothy L Fall who presided over the trial.

Thanks for the link Samosa; I went through all the posts. I can't believe that some of his frens and other nepali community still blindly support him. Shame on them.

Since there is no transcript to read yet, i followed the conversation thoroughly at post http://www.dailydemocrat.com/news/ci_12703488.


What concluded in my mind is as follow:


1. After several years of abuse from Ajay, the victim moved out of Ajay's house


2. After she moved, Ajay tried to continue molesting her either by threatening or paying her money


3. Victim complained to authority. Authority interviewed her, set him up and recorded phone conversation between victim and him about the abusive relationship.


4. On phone conversaton, Ajay admitted having sex but consentual


5. After arrest warrent, authority found several child pornography on Ajay's computer


6. Victim travelled to Nepal for her relatives marriage


7. Ajay's relative reported Nepalese authority that victim has wrong date of birth on her passport. Ajay just happened to be in Nepal at that time.


8. Victime was arrested in Nepal


9. While victim was in nepal, Ajay threatened her not to return to U.S.


10. While court deliberation about her fraud case in passport, Ajay's relatives travelled to Nepal and closely followed court hearing


11. Ajay even told her to go to Canada instead of returning to U.S. for further education and he would pay for the expenses


12. While victim was in nepal for her fraud case filed by Ajay's relatives and she was arrested, Ajay's relatives send several letters asking INS (now USCIS) to keep her out of the U. S.


13. After correction of victims date of birth and new nepali passport and with the help of the U.S. Embassy in Nepal, she finally got visa to return back to U.S.


14. court hearing started about molest and rape case against Ajay


15. Several Nepalese came forward as witness in support of Ajay


16. Ajay was convicted of several counts of molest and rape


17. Ajay is now in detension center at Yelo county awaiting sentencing on Aug 7th.

Ajay Dev, looks like this guy would never be able to come out of th eprison.. he'd better meditate and achieve nirvana in the jail.. that's only option left for him.... he has to kill himself, the Ajay Dev, and transform himself into something... nothing is permanent... and he is not as well.. every second (millisecond) we are transforming.. so this guy has nothing to live for in the future... a perfect condition for him to get nirvana....  that's karma.... life presents good and bad in equal proportions... that's what he is goign to get.
