The convict was allegedly allowed to escape en route to Sulthan Bathery for trial in a gang rape case.
The quantum of the punishment will be pronounced on Tuesday.
Bilkis Bano was 21 years old and five months pregnant when she was gang-raped while trying to escape the horror of the communal riots in February 2002.
According to police, the woman who is custody lured the girl and took her to the other accused on January 1.
The fourth accused received a jail term of 30 years. It was in 2021 that the Dalit minor was gang-raped by four youths from the Janakikkad ecotourism forest area.
The journalist, who was jailed for over two years while attempting to report a gangrape and murder case in Uttar Pradesh, spoke in Kannur on Saturday.
The victim told the police that she was abducted and raped by four persons, three of whom she knew.
As per reports, it was the accused who took the survivor to the Nadakkavu police station and lodged a complaint.
Several prominent personalities have filed petitions challenging the remission of 11 convicts in the 2002 case.
Senior officers are scrutinising the video and matching those who feature in it with the people arrested.
