A man who is capable of raping a girl will continue to be as sadistic throughout his life as the victim, scarred deep within his personality.
Anal and vaginal rape, whether by one person or a group, will scar a young girl for life. There is no possible reparation. It is worse than death. She will never be able to forget this attack on the very core of her dignity, on her being as a person. Because sexual assault reduces the victim to the status of a worthless object, a "thing" that anyone can use and discard, and whose suffering is valueless.
Justice and political correctness in the face of sexual assault
The factsA group of teenage friends were at a place in Azuqueca de Henares called the Azuqueca Washhouse. A group of four Moroccan minors—all 15 years old—arrived with two adults, one Moroccan and one Nigerian. The Moroccan adult had previously announced his intention to rape the 12-year-old Spanish girl. The rapists forced the victim and one of her Moroccan friends to a former, abandoned nursing home. The group of friends followed them. Once the two friends were detained, before the rape could be completed, an argument ensued in Arabic, and the Moroccan friend was released (according to her own account, they let her friend go because she was Moroccan).
They drag her into a bathroom, position her face down, restrain her legs and hands, and cover her mouth. They undress her from the waist down, and the older Moroccan man sodomizes her, followed by the others. The girl screams, and her friends try to help her by entering the abandoned building. The rapists threaten them with sticks and say, "Whoever goes in doesn't come out." They cower and wait, doing nothing.
Not satisfied with sodomy, they vaginally rape her. The torture lasts about 45 minutes. Once satisfied, the older Moroccan man, proud of his great feat, tells the Moroccan woman they released because "she was a Moor" that "she had already done what she had to do."
Justice: The Civil Guard acted swiftly. They handed the case over to the juvenile prosecutor's office, which negotiated with the defense and sentenced them to three years in a closed center for juvenile offenders and a five-year restraining order prohibiting them from contacting the victim.
Regarding the two adults, the Moroccan man who initiated the sexual assault was sentenced to pretrial detention without bail. The Nigerian man was released on bail pending trial.
Political correctness: We haven't learned of this extremely serious attack on the dignity of a minor for a year since it was perpetrated. Total silence. Furthermore, when "El Mundo" finally made it public, most of the media outlets that reported the information concealed the perpetrator's nationality and, even more seriously, The xenophobic or religious discrimination underlying this execrable attack on human dignity cannot be ignored. It cannot be overlooked that her friend was exempt from the aggression because she was "Moorish."
I believe this information is important because, while the vast majority of Moroccans respect religious and cultural differences, there are some where a deeply ingrained hyper-machismo and contempt for women still persist. Our youth must be aware of these cultural differences because it is the only way they can distinguish with whom they can feel more or less safe, regardless of nationality.
The Victim of Multiple Sexual Assault
A pre-teen, a newborn into social life, faces the new demands with astonishment, both in social and sexual relationships, bewildered and with the innocence typical of a twelve-year-old. She has friends—I mean friends—of different nationalities, an inclusive pre-teen who is suddenly reduced to a worthless object, devoid of dignity. A twelve-year-old girl awakening to the world in an utterly traumatic way. Without the emotional or cognitive resources to integrate into her limited life story such a cruel aggression as sexual violence always is. Powerless, defenseless, violated in the most intimate aspect of her being: her sexuality.
How will he be able to overcome this multiple attack by psychopaths who are incapable of experiencing the slightest empathy for such a fragile human being? No prison, no juvenile detention center, no parole can repair or heal this wound. No punishment is sufficient to cure this wound, which will bleed for a lifetime.
I don't understand so much protection for rapists, so much silence, because it's not politically correct to mention the nationality of rapists. I don't understand why, when abuses occur, for example, in the Catholic Church, they are so widely publicized, why the various professions, nationalities, and origins of other rapists are mentioned, and yet we intentionally conceal when they are immigrants. We cannot elevate the situation of being an immigrant and risking sexual assault to a category, simply because it is not like that, but neither can we silence the fact for exactly one year.
I believe the victim needs justice; she needs it most. And silencing certain circumstances only serves to create groups that feel more immune than others. We need the names and images of the adults involved in the rape to be made public… as is done in other situations. Women, and especially girls and teenagers, need protection.
