That guy had his whole environment stand on his side.
Everyone. His parents. The pastor the victims told and who did nothing. His sexually abused (maybe trafficked) wife flaunting about how he gives money to the homeless and works for this "Ubuntu", that she doesn't know anything about. He was in he navy, so the military and the court. And we should feel sad for his mother having to testify on court. He is just SUCH a good and amazing person... just that he had an oopsy and raped and tortured his sisters and other children for multiple years.
That the judge said that all adults around the victims failed them.. yeah... that is correct... BUT it seems that this is being used as a extenuating cause... IF the parents wouldn't have failed, you wouldn't have raped them for so long or something.
The judge is just the next Adult who failed them, giving him a slap on the wrist.
This case is horrid. It's one of the worst cases of child rape i ever read.
Up there on the level of Junko Furuta and Josef Fritzl. Just that Fritzl raped them less and inflected less physical lasting damage on them.
This should have made international news.
