"There will be special court for all cases of crimes against women and children," the Chief Minister said after a party meeting here.
This came days after a legislator and other 10 persons were arrested and jailed for their involvement in a sex racket involving a 14-year-old girl here.
Sangma said, "....Wherever the government feels necessary for expeditious administration of justice, will then propose for constitution of a special court to deal with any cases as may be identified," he said.
Meghalaya MLA Julius K Dorphang, a founding member of a banned organisation till he surrendered in 2007, was named by the 14-year-old victim as one of the people who violated her on a number of times.

The sex racket came to light last month after an employee of the guest house owned by senior Congress leader and Home Minister HDR Lyngdoh's son was arrested after the victim was rescued near it.
On why the Home Minister was not sacked despite the police registering an FIR filed by women activists against the owners of the guest house, Mukul said, "The whole investigation is on. Please have faith in our own administration of justice. There will be fair investigation."
