Mine is a silly question, so i'm askin gor forgivness before i ask the question.

Were any of these women he raped Malawians? And do you think that had anyof them been Malawian they would have actually reported him to the authorities?

I ask this question simply coz  ii've heard of a case where by a homegal was raped by a homeboy but the gal was too ashamed to report it coz she had been under the influence(alchohol) at the time and her so called "friends" told her that if she reported it people would label her a BITCH.

Now that's sad.

Actually i know him very well personally, and i do find it hard to believe that his capable of rape I guses its just hard when u know someone to grasp such stories, Oh well, these bloody Americans! Apparently if he does get sentenced, he be looking at 8 years....Poor Oke, my prayers will sincerely be with him.

As for ur Question Ms. Thang, i dont think this chicks would have gone to tell the cops, if they'd gotten raped by a fellow malawians..  On the Sad flip side, i personally dont think i would have gone to rat on someone if they'd rape me - i know it sounds like im condoning it, but it would feel like im reliving the whole ordeal, plus then theres the worry, of what are people going to think about me, U know..Totally Sad!

I find what Jane Doe says really hard to believe let alone understand. I find sexual assault the second worst crime one can commit. I was brought up in a single parent household by my mother and to even concieve that a man should get away with any kind of assault on a woman is beyond my comprehension. A man convicted of it should be put away for as long as it takes. It is (to me at least) a notch above child molester. There is no justification for it. I would say one thing. If you have been assaulted sexually, or otherwise you have to report it. The irrespective of what you THINK some idiots might say about your moral intergrity. The bastards might , and more than often do, go out and do it again and again.

abre,

I agree with you,women should learn to report such serious crimes regardless of what people will think of you,if you are the victim,dont suffer in silence,report it.Rape is a serious crime and should never be condoned and its really sad to hear a woman  like Jane Doe say what she has just said,its not being a "rat"when you report a rape,you are just trying to protect other fellow women from the menace,you are just trying to put a dangerous person away from many would be victims.

Suppose you were at Limbe bus depot and someone threatens you with a knife and robs you of your money and possessions,would you just sit there,smiling without calling the police just because you dont wanna"rat" on the person?would you?Now if you cannot just sit idle but call the police,what more with a person who has forced himself on you and has just taken your dignity and in some cases your virginity and at worst your life by giving you HIV,would you accept that?women should not accept that,you are not being a "rat",you are a victim and you are doing what every victim does, seeking help,dont suffer in silence and dont condone such behaviour.

I am not being personal to you Jane Doe but when mature people especially women think the way you are doing it is worrying and it is dangerous.

No sentence, save death (which I oppose) is to extreme for this fella. And I wish him all the worst in jail where he should rot.

abre,

actually they should also castrate them before or after banging them up,they are a danger to all women.

I can't tell you what goes through their heads because I'm not inclined to do such but I can only speculate that it is some sort of arrested development in the individual. Men who go for underage girls are divided between those who have the desire to capture their "youth" and men who have a fear of women who are the same age or older than them. Girls who are immature and naive turn them on because they can't take the challenge of mature ones. They are sometimes emotionally immature to communicate with older woman and connect more with younger ones i.e. Michael Jackson.

But since they (the Perpetuators) are physically mature, their sexual needs still come to play and they find themselves acting out with young people. The truth is paedophiles love children; at least they think they do.

As for the elderly ones. It is the same thing too. Only there is the violent factor involved. Rape is an acting out of a rage to women that could be a result of certain childhood trauma. One can only cringe to think what the motivation behind his attack was; considering if it was a violent one...
