14 Years for Raping Two Girls

(Manchester, England) In July 2009, a 22-year-old man, Munshur Ali, was convicted of raping two 13-year-old girls he had liquored up with vodka. The rapes reportedly occurred in November 2008.

Last week, Ali was sentenced in Minshull Street Crown Court to 14 years in prison.

Passing sentence, Judge Peter Lakin said: "Once you had them in your clutches, you plied them with more alcohol. You drove them to a secluded area and then you raped them.

"You knew, because they had told you, that they were only 13.

"You subjected these two vulnerable, naive 13-year-olds to a terrifying ordeal – an ordeal that had, and continues to have, a very substantial impact on both girls and their respective families."

Lakin said Ali had been "devious and manipulative" throughout the case.

Ali has professed his innocence throughout and even accused the girls of being willing participants. "You're all racist, I'm telling you," he shouted as he was led away from the dock.

It's worthwhile to note that dozens of web pages have reported on the rapes and prosecution and one has to view virtually every one before gleaning the information that Ali is a Muslim of Pakistani descent. The British media seem to have completely ignored those bits of information. Maybe it's a political correctness thing.
