A United Nations diplomat from Africa was accused of raping one of his neighbors in Upper Manhattan over the weekend — but NYPD cops released him because he has diplomatic immunity, authorities said Monday.
Charles Dickens Imene Oliha, 46 — a career diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in South Sudan — was arrested in Sunday’s alleged sex assault on a woman inside her apartment around noon, according to a police report obtained by The Post.
Oliha was taken into custody on suspicion of rape and brought in for questioning, cops said. But once he informed detectives from the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit that he was a diplomat, investigators confirmed he had immunity and swiftly released him without formally charging him, police said.
The victim, who lives in the same building as Oliha, told cops she went to walk a neighbor’s dog around noon when a man approached her in the lobby, according to the police report and sources.
The man said he was going to follow the woman upstairs, to which she replied, “No, you’re not,” authorities said.
But as the woman opened the door to her apartment, the suspect forced his way inside, police said.
The woman reported that the intruder pinned her against a wall and raped her using a condom before raping her again on the couch without a condom, police said. ***

Should the UN be in the US?
The woman should acquire a nail-studded baseball bat that has diplomatic immunity.
Diplomatic immunity should NOT shield you from these types of crimes.
The country that sent him here should charge him for the crime. I remember when I was in Air Force basic training we had some recruits from some Arab country. One of them got in trouble and was report- they sent him home and executed him for his behavior that shamed his country. (Oops)
this has been constant and ongoing for years.
Nothing new.
Nope
Perhaps one should first ask, “Should the United States be in the UN?” The only acceptable answer to this question is, “Hell No!”
That’s surprising. In movies and TV shows, only white men rape.

Dang.
UN criminals have been in violation of US, NY state and NYC laws, as I have seen, as far back as the 1960’s, with no legislative changes in sight.
He should be returned to the Sudan.
At 20,000 feet.
With no parachute.
See if he is immune to the laws of gravity.
Yeah, and we need to honor that. However, we can ask the country to remove that diplomat and ban his entry into the U.S. forever more. If not, you would see diplomats falsely accused. It’s protection diplomats need & deserve if they are to operate.
I had forgotten that diplomats have the same immunity as Clintons. Silly me.
This is so wrong and I know the cops hate letting these scum off.
have a few Italian uncles I can lend her.
Some people just need to be dumped in a Jersey swamp. Quietly.
Diplomatic immunity, is that what HUnter Biden has???
Is that the case here?
Yeah
Canada’s pusing MAiD on veterans (medical assistance in dying), so why not CAiD for those ATL (above the law)?
(i.e., citizen assistance in dying)
My theory on the Catholic rapist priests is they can’t be prosecuted. They are Ambassadors from the Kingdom of the Vatican. They seem to be immune, but nobody asks why.
Has she been arrested yet?
