The elderly woman told the court that Dhumal told her his wife never had sex with him, and then grabbed her, assaulting her in the lounge room as she cried: 'You've got to be kidding'. A NSW District Court jury found Dhumal guilty of the woman's traumatising rape last September. But this week, Dhumal's wife, Gouri, was still angrily protesting her husband's innocence. Dhumal's wife was in court for her husband's sentencing, and although she didn't want to comment on the rape, she told the court: 'My husband is loving and respectful.' Judge Craig Everson SC sentenced Dhumal to five years in prisonOnly the woman's son knew about the sexual assault.
