A 38 year old Algerian refugee has in Stavanger, Norway, been jailed for two weeks, charged with the rape of a 13 year old girl.The girl and a young boy stayed with the man in his appartment last Friday night. The charge is partially based on the young boy's statement.
Both the boy and the girl had told the man the girl was 18 year old, something he believed, and which the court has taken into concideration. It was the girl's legal guardians who reported the alleged rape.
The boy claims the girl was raped.
The girl says she had sex with the man, but it was not a rape.
The man claims nothing sexual happened.
-- not to take away from the importance of punishing those who commit crimes such as these (if this were, in fact a crime), but is there any wonder nothing gets done in a lot of cases when the parties involved can't even almost agree?
