Justice Kirubakaran made the observation while hearing the bail plea of two men, accused of raping a 60-year-old mentally challenged woman in 2016.
The judge said that sexual crimes against women had increased of late and that sufficient action was not being taken to prevent them.
"Some TV serials and films polluting the mind and attitude of the people," he said.
The judge then issued notice to the Union and Tamil Nadu governments, asking them to file a report on the steps taken to protect women against sexual assaults.
