Three high-ranking officers have brutally gang-raped their younger female colleague in an outrageous twist at a booze-fueled party inside police headquarters in the Russian city of Ufa.
The shocking incident occurred as the law enforcers gathered for a social evening at one of the offices, local media report. Much alcohol was consumed and after some time “the men lost the sense of reality and assaulted the woman,” sources told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said on Wednesday that it had initiated a criminal case “over collective rape of a junior detective” in the capital of Russia’s Republic of Bashkortostan, adding that the “23-year-old woman was attacked by three colleagues at their place of work.”
Two of Ufa’s district police department heads, aged 51 and 50 years, as well as 34-year-old migration section head at the Ufimsky District police HQ have been detained as suspects in the case.
All the officers previously had “a perfect record and were considered the pride of Bashkortostan’s police,” Komsomolskaya Pravda wrote.
According to the local media, the woman was herself a daughter of a high-ranking officer in the Russian National Guard.
The investigators have been working with the victim in order to establish all the details of the crime and to conduct a forensic medical examination. A group of detectives from Moscow has urgently departed for Ufa to assist in the probe.
Saudi Arabia executes migrant maid for murder of employer, who allegedly sexually abused her

Saudi Arabia’s execution of a migrant maid has sparked diplomatic tension with Indonesia at a time when the kingdom is facing international condemnation for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Saudi authorities executed Tuti Tursilawati on Monday without informing the Indonesian government, Indonesia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. It’s the third time in three years that the kingdom has executed an Indonesian citizen without informing their government in advance.
Tursilawati was charged with premeditated murder after she beat her employer’s father to death with a stick in 2010, the Jakarta Post reports. She said she was acting in self-defense and that he had been sexually abusing her. The woman ran away after the killing and was reportedly raped by nine Saudi men before she was taken into custody. She was sentenced to death in 2011 and was one of 18 Indonesians on death row in Saudi Arabia.
“Tuti’s execution was carried out without [prior notification],” Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi told reporters Tuesday. “I also summoned the Saudi ambassador in Jakarta to meet me in Bali.”
The execution comes just a week after Marsudi met with Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir to discuss migrant workers' rights. Marsudi stressed the importance of mandatory consular notification before carrying out death penalties, and both countries agreed to jointly “supervise, monitor, and evaluate” the Indonesian migrants working in Saudi Arabia.
Indonesian NGO Migrant Care condemned the execution and called on the government to reverse a recent agreement to allow a limited number of workers to go to Saudi Arabia.
“For [the] umpteenth time Saudi Arabia has hurt the diplomatic ethics of both countries that should have put forth the respect for human rights,” Amnesty International Indonesia’s Executive Director Usman Hamid said, Tempo reports.
In 2015, the Indonesian government banned domestic workers from going to Middle Eastern countries after Saudi Arabia executed two Indonesian maids.

‘Imminent danger:’ German media reveals details about Freiburg gang rape suspect

The main suspect in the gang rape of an 18-year-old (2nd story on link) German in Freiburg was described as posing an “imminent danger” and should have been arrested as soon as possible, local media claims, citing an arrest warrant.
A Syrian man, identified as a 21-year-old Majd H., is the prime suspect behind the gang rape of an 18-year-old woman in the western German city of Freiburg. He was not only previously known to police but had an arrest warrant issued against him on October 10, law enforcement said recently.
According to the latest revelations by German daily Bild, the details of the warrant are even more chilling. There was “an imminent danger” that he would commit other serious crimes, the media outlet writes, citing the document. The dangers included sexual coercion and grave bodily harm.
The warrant recommended arresting him immediately for the sake of public safety. However, it wasn’t processed until October 21, a week after the gang rape in Freiburg which provoked widespread public outrage.
Perhaps it was embarrassment that caused the police to sit on this story for two weeks? They should be embarrassed. The should be sued by the girl they might have saved.
Justifying their inaction during the Tuesday press conference, police cited some “investigative tactics” that complicated the arrest of Majd H. However, as the public demanded answers, the investigators admitted that the offender’s whereabouts had to be established first, as they were unknown at the time the warrant was issued.
Last week, eight men were arrested in connection with the rape of an 18-year-old woman. Police said that seven of the suspects were Syrian men aged 19 to 29, and one was a German native aged 25.
The crime which shook the nation took place in mid-October, after the teen met a Syrian asylum seeker at a nightclub in Freiburg. The man is thought to have added some kind of “knockout substance” into the victim’s drink.
The pair left the club together and at some point the man dragged the woman into the nearby bushes and raped her, according to prosecutors. The perpetrator returned to the club to “call his friends” who then committed the gang rape.
The shocking incident has once again stirred up anti-immigrant sentiment in Germany, which has accepted over a million asylum seekers since the 2015 refugee crisis. Shortly after news of the rape broke, up to 500 protesters took to the streets of Freiburg over the crime. The demonstration, organized by the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party drew about 1,500 counter-protesters.
Counter protesters to the protest of a gang-rape by migrants of a German teen! Does that mean they are in favour of Syrians gang-raping German girls?
It’s not the first such incident in the western German city. In 2016, Freiburg was stunned by the death of Maria Ladenburger, a 19-year-old medical student who was raped and drowned by an Afghan asylum seeker.

Google staff stage worldwide walkout over sex harassment, mistreatment of women

Perhaps someone should suggest to them that when you are protesting sexual harassment,
it might be more effective if everyone wasn't smiling and taking selfies.
Google employees from offices in Berlin, Dublin, Haifa, London, Singapore, Zurich, and other cities staged walkouts at 11am, starting with the Tokyo office. Other offices around the world will follow suit at 11am local time.
The Walkout for Real Change was reportedly sparked by the New York Times revelation that the company gave Android creator Andy Rubin a $90 million severance in 2014 after he was accused of sexual harassment, despite Google finding the allegations credible. The New York Times article revealed a number of instances where senior executives at the company were paid millions in exit packages after being accused of sexual misconduct, while Google kept silent about their reported behavior.
This has led many to accuse the tech giant of hypocrisy given its public backing of the #MeToo movement.
The walkout comes despite Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai, and co-founder Larry Page taking steps to quell an internal backlash over the revelations. The company told its employees it had fired 48 people over sexual misconduct allegations over the last two years, and none of them were given packages.
Demands
The group has called for a publicly disclosed sexual harassment transparency report and for Google to create a “clear, uniform, globally inclusive process for reporting sexual misconduct safely and anonymously.”
It also wants to bring an end to pay and opportunity disparities and appoint an employee representative to sit on the board of directors.
Women make up 31 percent of Google’s work force and about 26 percent of its executives. Google has also been sued by former employees and the Department of Labor, which claims that it underpaid women.
The group has called on Google to elevate the position of Chief Diversity Officer so that they can answer directly to the CEO and make recommendations to the Board of Directors.
Google and its parent company Alphabet employ 94,000 people worldwide. The company has faced a spate of pushback from employees over the last year. In March, employees protested the company’s planned partnership with the Pentagon’s Project Maven, and many took issue with its plan to build a censored version of Google to please the Chinese government.

Paul Makonda announced the 17-member squad at a press conference this week, promising it would “get their hands on them.”

“These homosexuals boast on social networks,” Makonda said, AFP reports. “Give me their names.”
By Tuesday, Makonda claimed to have received over 5,763 reports from the public, and more than 100 names.
Tanzania’s 1998 Sexual Offences Special Provisions Act states homosexuality is illegal and anyone who has “carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature” is punishable by 30 years in prison. This was based on the 1945 Penal Code created under British rule, which also deemed homosexuality against the law.
Tanzania President John Magufuli has cracked down on the LGBT community since his election in 2015, going so far as to claim “even cows disapprove” of homosexuality.

In 2017, 40 HIV testing and treatment centers were closed down, and a number of lawyers and activists were arrested for “promoting sexuality.”
The country also engages in forced anal examinations. The discredited practice, which claims to detect homosexuality, has been condemned by human rights groups.

Some 15 transgender Brazilians who were forced into prostitution using black magic have been freed from sex slavery following police raids in southeastern Spain.
Authorities busted the prostitution ring in the city of Murcia, Wednesday, making 13 arrests and seizing three flats after one of the victims managed to escape and raise the alarm.
“The criminal group was headed by a Brazilian national, who from Spain and with the aid of associates, recruited youths in Brazil who were in a precarious economic condition. They were then tricked into coming to Spain,” police said in a statement.Black magic paraphernalia linked to Santeria, an Afro-American religion thought to have originated in the Caribbean, was discovered throughout the flat during a police raid.
The 15 victims were coerced into moving to Spain before being forced into sex work and drug dealing to pay back their debt. All 15 were locked in a flat, beaten regularly and forced to both consume and sell drugs.
So far, 13 arrests have been made in connection with the raid; four suspects remain in custody while the remainder have been released on bail pending further investigation.
The suspects are aged between 19 and 60 and come from a diverse set of nations including Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Romania, and Spain.
Huddersfield grooming gang:
four more jailed for sexually abusing girls
Teenage victims were plied with drink and drugs

Four members of a Huddersfield grooming gang have been jailed for a harrowing campaign of violence and sexual abuse against three vulnerable girls.
Leeds crown court heard how Mohammed Akram, Niaz Ahmed, Mohammed Imran Ibrar and Asif Bashir used their teenage victims as “commodities” after plying them with drink and drugs.
The judge, Simon Phillips QC, said their criminality “defied understanding” and had traumatised the girls and their families, prompting the mother of one to write to the prime minister.
Read the Quran, Judge, you will understand!
The men, who were convicted of 10 offences spanning 2004 to 2010, were members of a 20-strong gang that carried out the “inhuman” abuse of 15 girls.
On Thursday, Akram was jailed for 17 years for two counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation and two counts of rape. The 33-year-old, nicknamed Kid, trafficked one of his victims to a hotel in Bradford, where she was raped by another man while she was unconscious.
The court heard how, when Akram crashed his car into the wall of a mosque, he ran away and left two of the victims at the scene of the accident when they “clearly were in need of medical attention”.
As some of the complainants watched via TV link, the judge told Akram he showed a “complete disregard for the safety of the girls” and added: “The way that you treated these girls defies understanding. This abuse was vile and wicked.”
It's fundamental Islam! What can I say?
Phillips said the girls became “conditioned and immersed” in the abuse, with one saying in a statement read to the court that she felt as though her life was at risk every time she left the house. “It has basically ruined the rest of my life,” she said.
One of the victims’ mothers said she had to call the police three times a week when her daughter went missing. “She would always come home looking like she was on drugs,” she told the judge, adding that she wrote letters to social services and “even wrote to the prime minister”.
Ahmed, 54, was told he was prepared to abuse girls for his own “sexual gratification” as he was sentenced to five years in jail for sexual assault and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Ibrar, 34, was jailed for three years after being found guilty of trafficking for sexual exploitation and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The court heard how he battered one of his victims and dumped her on a moor in Oldham “covered in blood” in the middle of the night when she refused to perform a sex act on him.
And he was jailed for just 3 years? Seriously?
Bashir, 33, was sentenced to 11 years after being convicted of rape and attempted rape. All four men were from Huddersfield.
The gang was spearheaded by Amere Singh Dhaliwal, 36, who was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 18 years by a judge at Leeds crown court in June, having been convicted of 22 rapes involving 11 different girls.
UK Police Investigating More Than 400 in
‘Unprecedented’ Sex Abuse Case
‘Unprecedented’ Sex Abuse Case
By Will Racke, The Western Journal
British police are investigating hundreds of suspects connected to notorious child sex grooming rings in Rotherham, England, authorities said Wednesday, after seven of the members were convicted on rape and false imprisonment charges earlier this week.
The investigation, dubbed Operation Stovewood, so far has identified 151 “designated suspects” and as many as 275 others whose identities have not been confirmed, The Independent reported, citing Britain’s National Crime Agency.
Police described the case as “unprecedented in its scale and complexity” because of the sheer number of suspects and victims, and because in many cases the alleged sexual abuse dates back more than 20 years.
Thus far, a total of 24 suspects have been charged, 12 of whom have been arrested and released on bail, police said.
Operation Stovewood was initiated in 2014 to investigate allegations of rampant sexual abuse of local girls by gangs of mostly south Asian men in Rotherham.
1500 girls in Rotherham
The investigation, which covers a period from 1997 to 2013, has identified more than 1,500 victims of child sexual exploitation.
The case has garnered international attention and sparked controversy in Britain due to the ethnic and class dynamics involved.
Critics of the government’s response say authorities downplayed the scale of abuse due to fears of being accused of racism or religious bias against the mostly Pakistani gang members.
They also have accused authorities of turning a blind eye to the grooming gangs out of indifference to the mostly working-class victims.
An outside assessment of authorities’ response to the Rotherham allegations found those criticisms have merit.
Authorities were slow to confront the grooming gangs because of “nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so,” according to the Jay Report, an independent inquiry into the Rotherham case.
On Monday, seven Rotherham men were found guilty of multiple counts of “indecent assault” and other offenses.
The defendants — Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar, 37, Nabeel Kurshid, 35, Iqlak Yousaf, 34, Tanweer Ali, 37, Salah Ahmed El-Hakam, 39, and Asif Ali, 33 — are set to be sentenced on Nov. 16.
An eighth defendant, who wasn’t named for legal reasons, was convicted of two rapes.
1000 girls in Telford
Investigations into similar child exploitation rings are ongoing in other British cities. The largest is in Telford, where authorities believe as many as 1,000 girls have been sexually abused by grooming gangs since the 1980s.
U.K. Home Secretary Sajid Javid has initiated a probe into the “cultural drivers” behind the grooming gangs.
Can you spell Quran, Mohammad?
“There will be no no-go areas of inquiry,” Javid said in September, according to the Independent. “I will not let cultural or political sensitivities get in the way of understanding the problem and doing something about it.”
I sincerely hope so Minister Javid, but have very grave doubts.
Cryptocurrency Helping Spread Sexual Child Abuse
in The Philippines
Cryptocurrency Newsin The Philippines
Citing a study by the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography and the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children titled Cryptocurrency and the BlockChain, it said that encrypted payment systems involving cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin are driving the proliferation of live-streaming child sexual abuse.
On average, live abuse or when a user instructs the children to perform sexual acts, cost around 10 Bitcoins when it was still worth $10,000, but a live-stream view-only would cost one Bitcoin.
A paedophile ring operating inside a
children's home in the '70s?
By CHRIS DYER FOR MAILONLINE
An abuse victim at a children's orphanage in the 1970s says he believes a paedophile ring may have been operating inside the home.
David Whelan, who waived his right to anonymity, said he believed he was being groomed to be 'passed on' while he was at Quarriers Village children's home in Scotland.
The witness, who first went to the facility aged 11 in 1969 and stayed until 1974, said he was abused at the late-19th century development in Renfrewshire.
Quarriers Village was made up of dozens of orphan homes which were run by 'house mothers' and 'house fathers'.
Mr Whelan said during his time at the home he was beaten with a 'military parade' baton, a belt and being told he was unwanted by his parents.
David Whelan told the Child Abuse Inquiry today he feared a paedophile ring was operating at Quarriers Village children's home in Renfrewshire
It was also said punishment included hair-pulling and being made to stand outside in a shed, sometimes until dawn.
Mr Whelan spoke of strict rules and carers who would lash out with violence, often leaving him 'petrified' in what was described as 'Victorian-era' degrading treatment.
Speaking at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry in Edinburgh today, Mr Whelan spoke of physical and emotional abuse he suffered at the hands of his carers.
He told the hearing: 'I believe I was being groomed to be passed on.
'At the time, you try and understand what was going on here, try to read what's going on here. I'm as clear as daylight - I was going to be passed on. I just wonder if there was a paedophile ring operating out of Quarriers, with some former residents.'
In 2002, John Porteus was convicted of sexually abusing Mr Whelan while in his care.
The offences took place in the village on a number of occasions. Other alleged abusers cannot be named for legal reasons.
Mr Whelan also described physical abuse as being 'normalised' and went unchallenged by those in higher authority at the orphanage.
He said: 'This was supposed to be a care home. From start to finish it was like being in a military establishment. 'They used derogatory language just to demean you, to belittle you. We weren't soldiers - we were children.
'There was no affection. It was like from a Victorian era, where the child was seen and not heard.'
Another witness described at an earlier hearing how the chilling regime saw children forced to eat their food and if they were sick were even forced to eat their own vomit, while bed-wetters had to sleep on the floor.
Children who ran away were beaten when they were returned, leaving them screaming and badly bruised, while physical 'punishments' were routinely meted out, the inquiry heard.
One man told the inquiry earlier this month how he was raped by his housefather while clearing up after dinner one evening, an attack that left him 'screaming in agony' and was repeated a further three times over his years at Quarriers, robbing him of his 'dignity'.

Chair Lady Smith is currently hearing from representatives and former residents of establishments run by providers Quarriers, Aberlour and Barnardo's.
Quarriers has apologised to residents who were abused while in its care.
Mr Whelan added: 'Bruises heal, but what happens with the psychological stuff is it stays with you. It was beyond the bounds of what was reasonable. It was brutality and cruelty.'
The inquiry continues next Tuesday.
