It is well, cases of rape everywhere, but where did the incident actually happen, and hope it was investigated properly

That is a heinous crime and the rapist must be sentenced right away if there is a valid proof. Why does it take so long to announce the verdict?

 

[Augusta]

I don't understand with young men these days. They are just committing this particular crime almost on a daily

In my country that issue could have been handled in a different way because 19 year old girl seems to be an adult enough for a rape case.

But he is still wrong for forcing another for any sexual exploit. Men need to learn how to apply self control

How can he enjoy the sex. Rape is not something a sensible man should engage himself in. What is so fantastic about the girl!?

BAIL must never be an option for murderers and rapist,because they will still come out and repeat what the did on those girls

 

[Augusta]

Yesh they are laws now in place. I hope that they are executed so that they are thought a lesson. I hate such crimes

Rapes have been concerned these days. Everyday we see rapes being committed, there must be strict punishment against them.

 

[Min George]

I am in support of the opinion that this man should never be granted bail and be given a life sentence.

 

[Stardom22]

I think a 19 year old girl is old enough to decide for themselves on who or not to date with. Like they are too old to be rapped as it's being put across on the context

It seems men these days don't even have self respect. It's really appalling
