Mr Welin wrote that the case will attempt to raise several questions about what actually constitutes an offence, which criteria must be considered to obligate someone to reveal rape.
He added that his client did not understand at the time that the actions of the other two men, 21-year old Reza Mohammed Ahmadi and 18-year-old Maysam Afshar, were rape. The lawyer also argued that Mr Khodagholi suffers from a mental handicap which could have impaired his ability to properly judge the situation.

The dangerous slippery slope of the low IQ, "he was too stupid to know what he was doing, defense." If that's the case, let's pull up my old friend Mr. "National Table for Average IQ"
They're all innocent, apparently.
Execute them all anyway.
Oh well why didn’t he say so earlier? Not knowing what rape is certainly excuses him from the act. How could you possibly prosecute this poor migrant victim?

Can I keep the $2 million?
Not in their culture, but in western culture it is. What country did this take place? Do you think in an Islamic country you would get away with an ignorance defense?
Jail them all for 7 years or offer sex change surgery and let them live a new life on a path to awakening!

I wish I had asked her when, but alas I was just a back woods kid.
Less philosophically: it's a man seeking to subjugate and humiliate a woman by using his sex parts. If he didn't have those parts, he'd use a broomstick. Castration won't work. The problem isn't what's between his legs, it's what's between his ears.

Six months? Europe is dead.
Ignorance of the law is never an excuse!
So, we can kill the low iQ since they are a danger by the very fact they are stupid?? OK.
The attorney needs to be slapped with malpractice for such a lame defense. Or maybe he just needs to be slapped
I bet after being raped a few times in prison he’ll get it.
Islamic Inbreeding Syndrome?
