Screams in court as bail refused over gang rape

A mother screamed and wept after a court revoked bail today for one of her sons who allegedly gang-raped a 17-year-old girl.

The 19-year-old man is accused - along with seven others - of gang-raping the girl in Arncliffe in June 2002.

The man, who was a minor at the time of the offence, later allegedly threatened to kill the girl in a conversation recorded by police, Bidura Children's Court heard this morning.

He also invoked the Koran and "his mother" when promising to hurt one of the other alleged rapists who had named him as one of the offenders, Magistrate Paul Mulroney said.

The conversation, which might not be admissable in a trial, was recorded in a police cell when the man was first arrested.

The eight are accused of aggravated sexual assault in company at the girl's home.

The man's brother was yesterday refused bail for the same offence.

Two other alleged rapists were freed on bail after appearing in court. Three others are due to apepar for a review of their bail conditions this afternoon.

...minor at the time. Guess this means he won't really be on the hook for anything but the threat.

I'm sure the poor girl screamed and wept many a time since then too.

If this were in a country under Sharia, they would have stoned the rape victim instead.

When I was in Australia I was surprised at the crimes which were reported in the newspapers. I learned that people are beaten to death Down Under with a variety of implements. Golf clubs were popular, but chairs, cricket bats, and spanners were also pretty common.

When the gov't takes away the guns, the angry people just find other means.

Under Sharia, it isn't rape. Because the girl was not muslim and did not follow muslim traditions, she is nothing more than a whore to these bastards. By raping her, they were doing a pious act. It is a favor to Allah to treat non-muslims this way because she will be used as an example of why she should be a good muslim. Living western ways are considered immoral and what the thugs did is considered proper behavior. Isn't Muslim tolerance for others such a despicable thing?

i never thought the australians would just let that confiscation happen to them... who's next?

[Desron13]

The induced mental disorder that is islam strikes again. Just another sickening example of what this twisted death cult inevitably leads to.

[Cicero]

It's noticeable that Muslim women are just as enthusiastic about honor killings and gang rapes as the men.

[Tim Long]

Does anyone know what the Koran (and maybe Hadith) has to say about rape, homosexuality, and pre-marital sexual relations? It seems that their are many cases recently about a Muslim raping someone.

"invoked the Koran"

Anyone know if this Koranist was the home-grown type or did the Aussies import him to wreak mayhem on their society?

read post #12; it partly answers your questions.

Boo freakin' hoo. 100 years ago, her son would have been strung up by now.

[BenLurkin]

That is very close to being true.
