UK: Violence against women / children

[Vikrant]

A man who was found guilty of raping a young boy and sexually abusing a girl has been jailed for eight years.

Mark Maclennan, 30, of Bath, also admitted possessing and taking indecent images of children.

The boy, who was three at the time, was raped at a nursery in the Lochaber area where Maclennan had worked.

The girl was abused on numerous occasions in Stirling, Dunblane and Dunfermline, when she was aged between 12 to 15.

He has been jailed at the High Court in Edinburgh.

Police Scotland and Highland Council have welcomed the sentence.

Judge John Morris QC told MacLennan that the crimes had been of a "particularly vile nature" and that only a substantial prison sentence would be appropriate.

He added: "Both of these young people were entitled to feel safe."

The GM case is probably one of the THOUSANDS of Islamic paedophile grooming cases the UK authorities have ignored for years.
The last government were terrified to stand up for the mere white girls attacked in this epidemic of paedophile grooming in the Islamic community.
They would kill some of the children and dispose of the bodies by serving them at kebab meat at take always.
That religion of peace hey!!
What a lovely bunch!!

Ignored?

Liar - The police hammer these bastards and quite right too.

As for the kebab thing, prove it.

Oh you can't because it's a Jews eat children lie.

There's always some moron, peddling total shit as fact.

Didn't the two muslims involved admit that they butchered her and then made her into kebab meat. It was all on tape until the boffins got hold of it and destroyed the recordings.

As for the police under Labour they were afraid to act in case they were branded racists and had to face hordes of left wing thugs and muslim scum.

As I said - prove your claim and I'll believe it.
As you seem to be avoiding posting evidence, I suspect you're a liar.

Missing girl s body put into kebab - Telegraph

A schoolgirl was murdered by a fast food shop owner who joked that she had been "chopped up" and put into kebabs, a court was told yesterday

In 2004, Albattikhi had a dispute with his brother, Tariq, who told a witness, David Cassidy, that he knew what had happened to Charlene - "she had been killed and chopped up and there had been a lot of blood", the court heard

The police botched the case so badly that they had to let the defendants go, and they have since been arrested on other matters and been found guilty. Now the muslims don't have a neo Marxist government to protect them and more and more are being arrested and charged with such offences. The 9 original muslims in Rochdale has since grown to 95 and the hunt is still on for even more. Very soon there wont be a muslim male left in the UK without a sex crime arrest and having to sign the register every week.

 

[Indofred]

Will this do

No.
There is no evidence for your claim at all - no charges, and the police found nothing to suggest there is any truth in this.
Yes, they seem to have sex with an underage whore who went there to sell her body.
Yes, it appears as if these men murdered her.
NO - there was nothing to suggest they actually made a kebab of her.

The police botched the case so badly that they had to let the defendants go,

or - the police found nothing to charge them with.

Only in UK : A 73-year old dude rapes a 24-year old woman.

---

Malcolm Donaldson, 73, insisted he was in bed 45 miles away in Caernarfon when the attack took place in Prestatyn.

But his DNA was found on the victim and the jury at Mold Crown Court convicted him of the charge.

The woman had been on a night out and believes her drink may have been spiked.

She told the court she could not remember what had happened to her when she woke up partially clothed in the field, covered in mud.

During the trial, prosecutor Kim Halsall told the jury the victim had been out to a pub on the evening of the attack in March last year, but could recall nothing after leaving the bar.

Supermarket worker Donaldson was remanded in custody and will be sentenced in April.

I was curious on what British women think about all of this. So I did a search and found this interesting debate. There are some interesting view points. Couple of white participants tried to deflect the blame on Muslims. But there were some Muslim participants who presented very compelling picture of root causes of rape in UK. One of the things that was pointed out was that British leadership does not speak out enough against the rape crimes. Another point that was raised was that some British comedians joke about the subject of rape therefore diminishing the gravity of the problem. One Muslim female pointed out that women in UK are at a crossroad. If they wear Burqa, they are called oppressed; if they wear comfortable clothes, they are called sluts.

Do we have rape culture in the UK?

 

[Coyote]

In all fairness...is rape truly any greater in the UK then other countries like US for example? It's hard to find meaningful statistics because crime, and rape - is defined and prosecuted differently in different countries.

Approximately 85,000 women are raped on average in England and Wales every year


In January 2013, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Home Office released its first ever joint Official Statistics bulletin on sexual violence, entitled An Overview of Sexual Offending in England and Wales.

It reported that:

Approximately 85,000 women are raped on average in England and Wales every year
Over 400,000 women are sexually assaulted each year
1 in 5 women (aged 16 - 59) has experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of 16.

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

[Vikrant]

This discussion has quite a bit of women in it. The overwhelming conclusion of the female participants is that UK is a sexist society. 85 thousand British women get raped every year. 2 British women are killed and raped every week by their partners. Another interesting issue that was raised was that women are prevented from breaking the glass ceiling by the male dominated British society despite the fact that girls in schools all across UK consistently outperform boys.

Do we live in a sexist country (UK)?

Do we live in a sexist country (UK)?

But again...is it really a sexist society in regards to rape? Some countries, take Sweden as an example, have a pretty broad criminal definition of rape that was changed a few years ago to greatly expand the number of crimes they would consider to be rape. As a result it gave the appearance of a sudden upsurge in rape crimes where there wasn't any increase it was simply a change in reporting. Now compare that to some of the Middle Eastern or African countries. Rape is rarely prosecuted, the victim has to go through a traumatic and cumbersome process to prove it and show she wasn't at fault, and far fewer crimes are classified as "rape". Superficially - you would conclude that Sweden was a hotbed of rape and Yemen had virtually no rape to speak of.

I have a feeling you did not watch the video. The video features a very active women's right activist. She is a woman. She clearly cites the statistics: Two British women are killed after being raped every week in UK by their partners (husband, boyfriend, etc.). How can you narrow that definition any further? Please enlighten me.

As far as Sweden is concerned, I agree that rape there is not even remotely as big of a problem as it is in the UK. Keep in mind, Sweden was voted among top 5 feminist countries in the world if my memory is correct. Also, women are very well represented in every walks of life in Sweden. That is not the case with UK. You do not have to take my word for it. Listen to those British girls themselves. One of them is a major women's rights activist and another one is a female politician.

However as far as rape index is concerned, on a per capita basis, UK ranks number one in the Europe and among top 5 in the world. Yesterday or so, there was another violent rape in which a woman was almost killed. Read below for detail. This kind of rape in which a woman ends up dead - two of them happen every week in the UK. That is a pretty high number for a country of population less than 90-million.

Leeds police have seized CCTV footage that shows a rape victim being dragged from a bus stop, beaten “many times” over the head with a blunt object, sexually assaulted and left for dead.

The 18-year-old victim miraculously survived the sustained attack, which police are now treating as attempted murder.

Officers are choosing not to release the footage, which they say “clearly shows the very disturbing circumstances of the offence”, though not in sufficient quality to identify the perpetrator.

“The victim is seen being carried away a short distance while struggling against her attacker who takes her into a nearby garden,” said West Yorkshire Police’s Detective Superintendent Nick Wallen.

“He can then be seen striking her over the head numerous times with a blunt object that we believe to have been a large stone.”

Det Supt Wallen said the traumatised victim was bravely helping to put together a picture of what the suspect looked like from her hospital bed.

“Her injuries are serious but thankfully not life threatening and she has been left very badly traumatised by the ordeal,” he said.

The 18-year-old victim miraculously survived the sustained attack, which police are now treating as attempted murder.

Officers are choosing not to release the footage, which they say “clearly shows the very disturbing circumstances of the offence”, though not in sufficient quality to identify the perpetrator.

“The victim is seen being carried away a short distance while struggling against her attacker who takes her into a nearby garden,” said West Yorkshire Police’s Detective Superintendent Nick Wallen.

“He can then be seen striking her over the head numerous times with a blunt object that we believe to have been a large stone.”

Det Supt Wallen said the traumatised victim was bravely helping to put together a picture of what the suspect looked like from her hospital bed.

“Her injuries are serious but thankfully not life threatening and she has been left very badly traumatised by the ordeal,” he said.
