"child rape laws, which carry the death penalty."

It used to be that way here in the USA.

[Ouderkirk]

The man was charged under child rape laws, which carry the death penalty.

As it should be.

Like it should be here.

Let him go. Sexual emergency dontcha ya know /s

This is how civilzation descends into the Pit.

Was the perpetrator an Indian national or one of the State Dept’s finest?

[SES1066]

From the UK’s “Guardian”, a most reliably LEFTist news outlet. Interesting that no nationality is attributed to the perp, only that it allegedly took place in the U.S.Embassy compound. (See I can use weasel wording too!)

That being said, such a crime amply deserves a death sentence. And yes, India has a multitude of societal problems, of which one is blatant and tolerated sexual crime.

Police said the accused, a (native) driver, is not employed by the embassy. However, he lives with his parents in the embassy’s staff quarters as his ( Indian) father works there.

The extremely high incidence of rapes and gang rapes in India is a direct result of millions of girl babies being aborted.

[Steely Tom]

For some reason reminds me of a scene in The World According to Garp (the book).

Garp has fallen in love with a prostitute in Vienna; she is ill, and must go to a hospital, where Garp visits her.

One one visit, he goes to her room, which is empty. Alarmed, he goes to the desk nurse to inquire of her whereabouts; the nurse glances at him, and then back at the magazine she is reading. "The whore is dead," she says offhandedly.

Garp leans toward her and says "Some day madam, you will be dead too."

[Veggie Todd]

I don’t think I want to know the answer, but how is it physically possible to rape a 5 year old?

[Steely Tom]

Sorry, this is the wrong thread for that comment. Rather silly of me.

[ScottinVA]

Kill him. Today.

Convict and publicly execute.
