A court in Delhi convicted [five men](http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/06/five-men-guilty-gang-raping-danish-tourist-delhi "undefined") Monday for the gang rape of a Danish tourist in 2014.

The 51-year-old woman was [sexually assaulted](http://world.time.com/2014/01/15/indian-authorities-arrest-15-men-after-gang-rape-of-danish-tourist/ "undefined") and robbed at knifepoint on Jan. 14, 2014, after losing the way to her hotel, reports Agence France-Presse. Nine people were accused of the crime, including three minors who are being tried in juvenile court. One of the accused died in February, [according](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36458027 "undefined") to the BBC.

“I pronounce all the accused guilty,” additional sessions judge Ramesh Kumar [told](http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/06/five-men-guilty-gang-raping-danish-tourist-delhi "undefined") the court, adding that the five — ages between 22 and 27 — will be sentenced on Thursday.

Following the brutal [gang rape](http://time.com/3728061/delhi-gang-rape-blames-victim/ "undefined") and subsequent death of a student on a Delhi bus in 2012 — a case that sparked mass protests, generated global headlines and stirred a nationwide debate on violence against women — India introduced strict new antirape laws. The minimum punishment for gang rape is 20 years in prison with a maximum sentence of [life in jail](http://time.com/4097959/india-uber-rape-sentence/ "undefined").
