Austria - 72 Year Old Raped By Afghan - 20-Month Slap on the Wrist

---------------------------------------- ARTICLE ---------------------------------------- https://www.rt.com/news/330571-afghan-raped-pensioner-austria/ Austria not to deport Afghan asylum seeker who raped 72yo woman Published time: 29 Jan, 2016 11:27 An 18-year-old asylum seeker in Austria who raped a 72-year-old pensioner will not be deported to Afghanistan. Instead he will serve a 20-month sentence in prison and continue to live in Austria. The Afghan asylum seeker, who was identified as Wahab M., faced the Regional Court on Wednesday for raping an old lady, Austrian press reported. The court found him guilty and sentenced to 20 months in jail and issued a €5,000 fine. The maximum penalty would have been up to five years, according to Austria’s Kurier newspaper, but the judges considered several mitigating factors such as his being underage (the attacker was 17 at the time of the incident), his confession and the absence of a criminal record.

In the meantime, the newspaper revealed new details of the case. The 72-year-old woman was identified as Christina F., from the town of Traiskirchen, in eastern Austria. Traiskirchen currently has one of the biggest refugee centers in Austria. Christina’s daughter Sylvia was reportedly working with asylum seekers. The incident took place on September 1, 2015, local media reported, but police didn’t reveal it at the time because of the sensitivity of the case. "It was a really hot day and I decided to take my dog for a walk along the Schwechat River [in Traiskirchen], and saw two young men swimming there,” the old lady recalled, as cited by Kurier newspaper.

"Suddenly, I felt a blow from behind,” Christina said, adding that she was grabbed and pushed to the ground. The man put his hand over her mouth and tore off her clothing.

Also her dog was 13 years old and “was sadly not up to protecting his mistress from the attack," a friend of the old woman, Hans Vesely, 72, later said. After the attack, she managed to get home. Later she was found by her friend whom she told what happened after he saw the bruises on her body. "She is not the same woman anymore. She doesn't trust being left on her own and does not leave home, and she's become very weak since the incident," Vesely said. Initially the authorities were not able to find the perpetrator. He was caught after committing a petty crime which required his DNA sample. The sample matched the one found on the old lady and authorities arrested the refugee. First he denied the accusations, saying that he was drunk and didn’t have a clue what exactly happened. His friend also said he saw nothing. Eventually Wahab M. admitted the rape, following the disclosure of DNA evidence. Austrian authorities deported at least 3,278 asylum seekers in 2015, Interior Minister estimates say. In most cases, they were deported because their applications were rejected and only a few of them because of criminal convictions. Sexual harassment of women by male refugees and migrants has been a hot topic recently. The first city to report about such cases on New Year’s Eve was Cologne, Germany where “heavily intoxicated” men of “Arab or North African” origin were harassing and assaulting local women en masse in the city center. Similar incidents have been reported in other German cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Stuttgart. Police were accused of covering up migrant attacks. https://www.rt.com/news/330571-afghan-raped-pensioner-austria/ ---------------------------------------- COMMENT Reading this makes me sick. The attack on this old woman is disgusting. Elderly people are about as vulnerable as children, in the sense that they're weak and they can't defend themselves.  Old people are additionally vulnerable, in that their bones break easily AND an attack like this can have enormous and long-lasting physical consequences, as well as enormous psychological consequences. Nobody's mother or grandmother should go through this. I feel like crying reading this.  It is beyond belief that the sentence for rape in Austria is a mere 5 years and that one can violently attack and rape an elderly woman and get a mere 20 months.  It is also beyond belief that this danger to society is not deported from Europe, where he does not belong in the first place. How can Europeans continue to allow this? It's preposterous that governments (eg the British and the US / most likely EU-NATO effort) spent Western taxpayer money on 'stop rape in war' styled political PR schemes, (targeting third world countries that politicians are intent on stealing resources from ... countries where I'm betting rape is prevalent not only in war, going by the assaults on European women), while European politicians FACILITATE RAPE of European women. Meanwhile, POLICE SUPPRESS RAPE-BY-MIGRANT INFORMATION and violent assaults of Eurpean women, to protect: 1. the foreign invaders; 2. the politicians who have facilitated invasion and rape; so that European authorities may preserve ongoing genocidal immigration policies. All the while, the media, the liberal left intelligentsia, and the rent-a-protest (or stage a candlelit vigil) mob, demand the destruction of Europe and rape of European women, as feminists and sundry do-gooders remain silent. ---------------------------------------- Europa-Evropa
