I bet you didn't read this in the news this week did you?
On Thursday, at Leeds Crown Court, an illegal Iranian immigrant was convicted of male rape. The boy he raped was a friend of my daughter. He was given 6 years and will be deported when he's served his sentence. But we don't want to publicise that and upset the foreign nationals do we?

He won't be deported as his crime is a capital offence in Iran, so no way.

Asylum seeker jailed for male rape
A MALE student was raped when he went into a house in Hull after being asked for help by a Kurdish asylum seeker.
The 19-year-old victim was walking home alone along Beverley Road early in the morning when he saw a man outside a house.
The man, Goran Rahim, asked if he knew the time and when the student said he did not Rahim said: "Can you help me, my friend has passed out."
Mark McKone, prosecuting, told Leeds Crown Court yesterday the student followed Rahim inside and was pulled into a dark room where he was subjected to a series of sexual assaults by three men including being raped by Rahim, who told him: "Shut up, else I'll slit your throat."
Mr Mckone said it was only when a mobile phone went off in the room, distracting the trio, that the complainant opened a window and escaped by climbing out. He then called a friend for help .
The attack was reported to the police and after the student pointed out the house Rahim was found inside. He denied any knowledge of a rape, saying he would have been asleep at that time.
But after his DNA profile matched samples taken from the victim he changed his account.
Mr McKone said Rahim then tried to claim they had consensual sex.
He told officers he had drunk between 10 and 12 cans of Stella and smoked nine to 12 joints of cannabis and said no one else was involved.
Yesterday as he was due to stand trial Rahim, 23, changed his plea and admitted raping the student on February 22.
Judge Stephen Ashurst jailed Rahim for six years, recommended deportation, and said the events had a traumatic effect on the victim.
Judge Ashurst said since Rahim's arrival in the UK he had been in trouble for driving while disqualified and anti-social behaviour.
Tony Stevenson, for Rahim, said he had no history of previous sexual offending.

I hope the victim's parents do not read the Yorkshire Post, because the story was reported by that newspaper.

The guilty man was an asylum seeker, not an illegal immigrant. The victim, at 19 is not a boy in law. The case has received coverage in the local area so your argument about not wanting to upset foreign nationals is poppycock.
Other than that, your story is accurate.

"He was in a pub in Leeds when it happened. "
Er.. no he wasn't.
Kurds do not follow Islam. Their religion is called Yazidi.

well, it seems facts get misrepresented when they aren't in the papers as much as when they are. (Though in fairness I wonder why the gap before it appeared in the papers.)

Gromit, this is not the same case. It's very similar. The person who carried out the assualt was called Fahad Mohammed. He IS an illegal immigrant, as stated in court.
JNO, the boy didn't want his parents to know. He doesn't live in Yorkshire. He had very, very good reasons for not wanting them to know. Reasons he would not appreciate me telling anyone on here. There were other bad things happening in their lives, so he preferred not to tell them and hope they wouldn't find out, which so far, they haven't.
And who are you to lecture me about telling anyone anything? I know this boy very closely, and for a long time.
You do enough spouting off on this site.
You are entitled to your opinion, the same as everyone else, but that doesn't give you the right to start lecturing anyone.

Mr.Tamzarian
Please accept my apologies for mistaking this very similar case with the one you were referring to.
However, your allegation that there is a conspiracy of silence because the man is foreign is still proven incorrect by the fact that the very similar case was reported.
I do not know why the Fahad Mohammed case has not been reported. Rather than an attempt to keep it quiet, a more likely explanation is that further court action is in progress and nothing can be said until that is finished.
This is the kind of story that the Daily Mail and Daily Express would print, so it is unlikely that they would collude in sweeping it under the carpet.
Once again, sorry for my error.

Mr Tamzarian, I quite understand that the boy wouldn't want his family to know. His reasons don't really matter. So that still leaves me asking: why do you want to see it in the papers? Wouldn't that be the very quickest way of ensuring his family did find out?

Gromit. The Daily Mail and the Daily Express? The very best toilet paper around! Right up everyones' alley!
JNO, do you think the papers care about anyones' feelings when they report things? I don't know why it wasn't reported. I have mixed feelings about it.
On the one hand there is the boy and his family. He didn't want it made public and in that sense I'm glad it wasn't covered.
On the other hand, an illegal immigrant behaves like this, gets what is apparently justice, and hardly anyone is the wiser.
As I said, I'm glad it wasn't reorted for the boys' sake, but I'm baffled as to WHY it wasn't.

that I don't know. Is it possible that, as someone else suggested, there are other charges still being dealt with?
