Mum raped by seven as her kids slept nearby
Accused Bendigo rapist back in jailA GROUP of young males trapped a 21-year-old woman in her laundry before raping her while her children slept nearby, a court has heard.
The seven males, aged between 14 and 21 and who came to Australia as refugees from Sudan or Afghanistan, yesterday applied for bail in the Bendigo Magistrates' and Children's courts.
Police told the hearings Mohammad Zaoli, 21, Aru Gar, 19, Mohammed El Nour, 18, and Akoak Manon, 18, and three youths aged 17, 16 and 14 came to Bendigo from Shepparton to go nightclubbing last Saturday.

The court was told Sidaqat fondled the teenager's chest until she left the train more than 20 minutes later...
Judge Stretton said none of those factors excused Sidaqat's behaviour.
"It is clearly wrong by both Muslim and western cultural standards," he said.
"This was completely outrageous and inappropriate behaviour by you towards an innocent 16-year-old girl who had done nothing more than take public transport in the middle of the day in Adelaide," he said.

Asian gang of predators abused and raped up to 100 girls as young as 12
An Asian gang of 'sexual predators' cruised city streets for girls as young as 12 - usually white - who were then plied with drink and drugs and raped or abused.
Up to 100 ‘vulnerable’ girls may have been groomed, abused or supplied cocaine by married fathers Abid Saddique and Mohammed Liaqat, and their friends.
A court heard the pair used Liaqat’s BMW saloon to trawl for victims, pulling up alongside girls outside shops or schools and chatting them up before a ‘campaign of calls and texts’ to groom them.
Saddique, 27, and Liaqat, 28, plied the victims - most from broken homes - with vodka and cocaine before taking them to ‘parties’ in hotels or flats with other gang members to rape or degrade them.
When girls refused their advances they were threatened with hammers or thrown out of cars.
Yesterday Saddique and Liaqat, each British-born and of Pakistani origin with an arranged marriage, faced years behind bars after being found guilty of a catalogue of sexual abuse over an 18-month period...
Seven other guilty members of the gang have already been jailed.
File under: the fruits of indiscriminate diversity.
I'll need to do some research on the subject. Do foreigners have any higher rates of sexual crimes than aussie-borns?
ReplyDeleteOK, I did a quick check on the website of the Australia Bureau of statistics. I'm no expert, I admit, so feel free to point out where I'm wrong. I looked at the "prisoners' census". Prisoners are not sorted by religion, but they are sorted by country of birth.
(The Vietnamese-born have a sky-high rate of drug offences, but I dunno if you'd consider that interesting).
I looked for "sexual assault and related offences". No nationality "jumped out" at me.
Of the foreign-born, 146 seual offenders are from the UK and Ireland. Next in line is New Zealand with 86. Fiji came third with 22. India, Samoa, and Germany came next in line with 21, 20, and 18 prisoners respectively.
At first glance, none of these numbers seem to me to be significantly disproportionate the the general population. But by all means, do your own research and see if anything comes up.
This is really just silly. The real thing that all the victims in the story have in common is that they're all women and the real thing that all the offenders have in common is that they're all men. So if you really want to reduce crime in Australia, you should just deport all the men, right!
