“Gang Rapists” Given Eight Months Exile
By Ajay Makan
July 19, 2007

Four men who had sex with a twelve year old girl after breaking into her home have been cleared of rape. A judge found the girl from Kurendhoo, Lhaviyani atoll, had consented to have sex with the men after they smashed her bedroom window with an axe.

The judge sentenced the four men to eight months exile from Kurendhoo for sex outside marriage. The sentence contradicts a government commitment to the UN in May that child sex offenders would be imprisoned rather than banished.

On January 31 the four men aged between nineteen and twenty-five used an axe to smash the window of the girl’s bedroom before taking her from her bed and having sex with her.

The state charged the four men with rape.

But in his summation the judge noted “the girl had reached puberty” and found “she was a willing partner,” because she had not screamed, struggled or told her sister-in-law or step mother about the event.

He found the men guilty of consensual sex before marriage, and imposed the minimum sentence of eight months banishment. The standard sentence, even for couples engaged to be married, is twelve months' banishment.

The Attorney General has promised to appeal against the case, but women’s rights activists are furious at the decision.

“I am amazed the judge has presumed a twelve year old girl can give consent to four men to have sex with her,” said Aishath Velezinee, of women’s rights NGO Hama Jamiya [Justice Organisation].

“This is obviously a case of gang rape.”

"How can four men, who raped a twelve year old, be sent to an island, possibly four separate islands, where there will be other vulnerable young females?” she asks.

In May Deputy Home Minister Azima Shukoor promised a UN conference in Geneva, child sex offenders would be imprisoned rather than banished.

Today Justice Minister Mohamed Jameel confirmed, "there is a judicial practice to sentence such offenders to imprisonment.” He said he would look into why the judge had “departed from the prevailing practice.”

But Aminath Eenas of the Gender Ministry says the Justice Ministry has ignored demands to impose prison sentences, and hear abuse victims' evidence in private not open courts.

“We have asked repeatedly, but there is nothing else we can do,” Eenas complained.

Velezine says Azima Shukoor deceived the UN conference. “The minister completely distorted the truth. The law clearly still permits banishment for child sexual offences, and the judiciary does not consider this a serious crime.”

On Wednesday Azima told Minivan News she was “too busy to discuss this.”

“The sentences send completely the wrong message. It tells men of all ages they can get away with rape, and it tells young women not to come forward as they will be re-victimised by the judicial system,” Velezinee went on.

And she called on the Gender Ministry to “condemn the decision in the strongest possible terms,” and “make sure this goes all the way to the high court.”

The Gender Minister, Aishath Didi, refused to condemn the judgement.

She said the government "must respect the judge's decision," although she promised, "everything necessary is being done," for the appeal.

Again, another disgusting story that really show how messed society really is.
 
WTF..............
So, because she did not scream, they go free, basically...

They do know that people can get so scared that they cannot bring themselves to scream or fight back?

This is bullshit, plain and simple.
 
Did the judge ever think she was scared shitless, and that's why she didn't speak up? Obviously not.
 
This made me sick to my stomach...

Just because the girl did not say anything to anyone, doesn't mean she was willing. I know what it's like to be scared shitless that it's just hard to tell anyone what happened. This can be due to embarrassment, shame, and many more. Clearly, the girl was traumatized, and I don't blame her.

People need to use their common sense.
 
Ugh, thats disgusting. I can't imagine what the girl is going through, and how this will scar her mind. Just because she's twelve and hit puberty doesn't mean she'll enjoy it. They are anonymous adults that raped a girl. :/ As said above, she is probably too traumatized to say anything.

Do you search RAPE in Yahoo News or something?

If it bothers you don't click the link then, the title is clearly stated.
And isn't it better to get news like this out in the open so people can do something about it, rather than hushing it under the carpet?
The most people are doing in this thread is expressing sympathy or anger towards the people.. nothing wrong with that.

This judge needs a reality check. What if it was his daughter/granddaughter? Im sure that he would have seen the rape there. Thats por child may never recover from this and it'll be a long battle if she does. Sick bastards. I hate this world we live in, its a disgrace that we live with people who commit this!
 
if you scar someone for the rest of her life like that you need to have a neckshot. the judge too
 
This happened in the UK right? Well then this just proves we should have some more or less universal laws regarding stuff like this. How in the world can people do stuff like this, and as for the consent. Ok someone shows up with an axe and threatens you, hmm are you not going to consent. For chirst sakes that makes you think the Judge knew one of the rapist or all of them and took it easy on them. Those bastards should go through chemical castration once they get back.
