Child gang rape case horror


By Sue Dunlevy


PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says he is "disgusted and appalled" at a decision not to jail nine young men who gang raped a 10-year-old girl in the Aurukun Aboriginal community in Queensland.
Cairns-based District Court Judge Sarah Bradley said the victim "probably agreed" to have sex with the men and did not record convictions against six of them.
Three older men involved were given a suspended sentence.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh yesterday expressed outrage at the judge's ruling which she said was "so far from community expectations I have to say I am alarmed".
But she refused to support calls for the judge involved to be sacked.
Concerned the sentence could be part of a trend, Ms Bligh ordered a review of all criminal sentences in Cape York communities over the past two years.............

Nine child rapists go free in Australia e

Here's your horrifying lede of the day, from The Guardian: "A judge in Australia was facing calls to step down today after she failed to jail a group of nine males who admitted gang-raping a 10-year-old girl in an Aboriginal community, saying the young victim 'probably agreed' to have sex with them." I...what the...sigh.
Australia has been struggling over the problem of sexual assault of in indigenous communities; a recent report showed that sexual abuse against Aboriginal children is happening at staggering levels.
In the case of this young girl, who was raped by three adults and six juveniles, communities across Australia were horrified by Queensland District Court judge Sarah Bradley's leniency and disgusting comments.

it is our DUTY as human beings to never let this happen again. ANYWHERE in the world (and it's happening EVERYWHERE right now. EVERYWHERE, yes, even here.
