India: court jails five men for life for raping Danish tourist



A court in India’s capital New Delhi has sentenced five men to life in jail for the gang rape of a Danish woman.

The 52-year-old tourist was robbed and raped at knife point in January 2014. Three minors are also being tried in a juvenile court.

The case has once again raised the issue of sexual violence against women in India following the rape and murder of a student on a bus in New Delhi in 2012.

Three minors are also being tried in a juvenile court.

Which means they will probably be out and about in the near future. I think the maximum punishment for juveniles is 3 years in a correctional facility (not a prison).

Having noticed a huge increase in the number of cockroaches in this quaint little fishing village, I,m surprised that there has not been a corresponding increase in the abuse of the little darlings often seen strolling along the beach enjoying the sights, or has there been ?
