Jail term doubled for 13-year-old girl’s rapist

Retired employee sentenced to 10 years in jail after prosecutors appeal against five-year term

Gulf News, Bassam Za'za', Legal and Court Correspondent

Dubai: Prosecutors won their appeal against a retired employee, who will spend 10 years in jail for raping a 13-year-old schoolgirl in his car each time he took her and her brothers fishing.

The 55-year-old retired man, from Comoros Islands, befriended the Yemeni girl and her brothers when he told them that their father was his co-worker and started taking them out and spending time with them in August.

Then he started taking them on fishing trips near the Al Shindagha.

Every time he took the children for fishing, he would send the brothers to buy dinner while keeping the girl in his car where he would have sex with her.

The defendant was exposed when a witness reported to police that he had spotted the girl alone inside the car with the 55-year-old, who had parked his car in a suspicious manner.

Police went to the location and apprehended the 55-year-old man after having watched him for some time.

In March, the Dubai Court of First Instance jailed the defendant five years for having sex with a minor despite having pleaded not guilty.

The defendant appealed his primary judgement before the Appeal Court and sought to have his punishment reduced.

Prosecutors also appealed the five-year imprisonment and asked the appellate court to stiffen the punishment.

Presiding judge Eisa Al Sharif overruled the defendant’s appeal, accepted that of prosecutors and lengthened the punishment to 10 years in jail.

The accused will be deported on completion of his term.

The defendant exploited the girl’s age and abused the fact that he was close to her brothers since he was their father’s co-worker, said records.

The 13-year-old girl said the accused had sex with her every time she and her brothers went fishing with him at the beach.

“We used to go to the beach for fishing and riding bicycles. We became close to the defendant since we knew that he worked with our father. One day, he sent my brothers to buy food and asked me to sit with him in his car. He asked me to sit in the back … I was afraid that he would kill me and so I did as he said. He removed my clothes and did something bad to me for two minutes. Then we went out and joined my brothers for dinner. Later, he repeated what he had done earlier. A third time, he could not do anything because the police came and stopped him,” she was cited as telling prosecutors.

A police lieutenant said a witness reported that he suspected a man who had been parking his car near Al Shindagha and staying inside it with a 13-year-old girl.

“The witness saw the defendant stepping out of his car while fixing his kandora. We seized alcohol bottles in the defendant’s car and sex enhancement pills,” the lieutenant claimed to prosecutors.

The appeal ruling remains subject to appeal before the Cassation Court within 28 days.

Abu Dhabi: An 11-year old boy, whose body was found on the rooftop of his residential building on Wednesday, had been raped and murdered, Abu Dhabi Police confirmed on Wednesday.

Major General Maktoum Al Sharifi, Director-General of Abu Dhabi Police, said the police have arrested a Pakistani man who confessed that he raped the victim and strangled him to death.

Al Sharifi, in a statement, praised the efficient efforts of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which led to the immediate arrest of the suspect.

The police did not reveal any further details about the suspect.

A family friend of the boy told Gulf News on Monday that the family has been waiting for the completion of formalities to receive the boy’s body. “The family has not decided about the burial… whether to do it in Abu Dhabi or Pakistan or Russia,” said the friend who did not want to be named.

Gulf News exclusively reported on Friday that the boy’s father is a Pakistani and mother a Russian. The mother, who used to visit her son in Abu Dhabi, was in the city when the tragedy occurred.

The boy, Azan Majid Janjua, went missing on Tuesday and his body was found the next morning. His father, Dr Majid Janjua, had told Gulf News that Azan was fasting and had gone to the mosque for afternoon prayers and Quran recitation and he then went missing. Some neighbours saw the boy returning from the mosque but he never reached home. An extensive search by the family for the boy proved futile.

AC technicians, who went to the building’s rooftop to check a malfunctioning chiller, found his body there on Wednesday morning.

“His body was half-naked and the Quran was beside him,” the father said.

Azan was Dr Janjua’s first son born to his first wife whom he met while studying medicine in Russia. 

As they did not live together for a while, Azan, who was also a Russian national, lived with his mother in Russia.

As part of a mutual agreement between parents, Azan started living with his father around two-and-a-half years ago.

Dr Janjua has been living in the same building for the past six years with his father, his second wife and two young children. “We had a nice time since Azan joined us. He liked his younger siblings,” he said.

Azan, said the father, did not have the habit of roaming around and was a disciplined boy. “He never went outside without our permission,” he said.

For Dr Janjua, the UAE has been like home as he came here as a small child. “My grandfather and father were living here. Soon after my birth in Pakistan, I was brought to the UAE,” said Dr Janjua who works with a medical insurance company in Abu Dhabi.

The happy moments spent with his son on that fateful day are still vivid in the father’s mind. “He woke up early and had suhour with us. We went for Fajr prayers at the masjid [mosque] and he was [in a] happy [frame of mind],” Dr Janjua had said.

Devon Mormon bishop accused of child sex abuse

By Paul_Greaves  

A former Mormon bishop has gone on trial accused of sexually abusing two girls in Devon.

Stewart Allsford, 66, was a representative of the Church of the Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, at the time of the alleged abuse in the 1990s.

He admits indecently assaulting one of the girls when she 14 but denies five other charges of sex abuse. On the first day of his trial at Exeter Crown Court the jury heard from the alleged victim, now an adult, who said she had tried to hide what had happened from other people as she felt she was somehow to blame.

The offences only came to light when her boyfriend found her childhood diaries and discovered a page describing the defendant's alleged attempts to kiss and touch her. She thought she had destroyed all the evidence because she did not want anyone to know.

She told police: "My boyfriend saw my diary. I can't even remember writing it. I do remember sitting at the bottom of my garden and ripping pages out and chucking them in the bin. I feel stupid that I left one page and someone discovered it. I have felt it every day of my life. I thought everybody would think I'm a disgusting person because I didn't complain at the time.

"I was doing so well. Before I could keep quiet and it didn't matter because nobody is going to ask me any questions. It annoys me I didn't rip it out as I could have kept it quiet. They would have thought it was my own fault and blamed me."

Paignton, Devon, UK

The alleged victim broke down in tears several times as she gave evidence. "It has got to the point where I can't keep it in and secret anymore. I needed to tell someone so I went to the police.

Mark Worsley, defending, said Allsford said the sexual assault only happened when the girl was 14. "That's not true," said the witness.

Allsford, of Davies Avenue in Paignton, is also accused of indecently assaulting a second girl under 13. He has pleaded not guilty to four counts of indecent assault, one of assault by penetration and one of abducting a child under 16. The latter charge relates to an alleged trip he made in his car with a third girl without permission from her parents.

Prosecutor David Sapiecha said Allsford, who is yet to give evidence, told police the victims were lying.

The trial continues.

Former fake surgeon charged with

felony child sex abuse

KGW 

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Lucas Orlin Ebert, who made national headlines after he was arrested in 2011 for impersonating an OHSU doctor, is back in court on seven felony charges of sex abuse involving a minor.

Ebert, 27, of Gresham, was in court Monday. Court documents say the victim is a girl known to Ebert. During Monday's court appearance, Ebert was instructed to have no contact with the victim. He is being held on no bail because of a parole violation.

The documents say Ebert is a student at Portland Community College. His next court date is Tuesday, June 13 at 9:30 a.m. for a preliminary hearing.

In 2011, Ebert posed as a doctor at OHSU for at least two weeks and fooled a female patient into believing he was a plastic surgery resident. 

Ebert has a checkered criminal history. He has been convicted of 11 felonies, including criminal mistreatment, practicing medicine without a license, negotiating a bad check, identity theft and forgery.

A Prineville, Oregon man was sentenced to more than nine years in prison Monday for luring a 15-year-old boy to a Bend hotel, where he recorded the two of them having sex.

Christopher Stout, 43, was arrested Feb. 21 and charged with 20 counts of various luring and sexual abuse crimes.

After his release, Stout will also have to register as a sex offender and will not be able to have contact with minors or use the internet without permission from a judge or his post-prison supervision officer.

Stout, who at the time was a U.S. Forest Service employee, has no prior criminal history. Before being sentenced Monday, he apologized for his actions, calling them “reprehensible.”

For the charge of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct, Stout was sentenced to 70 months. That crime falls under M

“I would like to express just how deeply sorry I am for my actions,” he said.

'Self-admitted predator' sentenced to 19 years

for child sexual abuse

DON LEHMAN

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. — A registered sex offender who was indicted last year for sexually abusing three young boys was sentenced to 19 years in state prison Friday after a judge heard how he admitted he was a sexual predator who couldn’t refrain from child sexual abuse without help.

Daryl A. Tucker, 38, of Warrensburg, pleaded guilty in April to two felony charges for abuse of two of the boys in recent years, one of whom was repeatedly abused over a five-year period. He pleaded guilty to counts of criminal sexual act and course of sexual conduct against a child, the second time he had pleaded guilty to molesting multiple children.

He agreed to a plea deal that included a prison sentence of between 18 and 20 years, to be followed by 10 years on parole.

After hearing a request by Warren County Assistant District Attorney Emilee Davenport for 20 years, while defense lawyer Robert E. Kelly asked for 18, Warren County Judge John Hall split the difference Friday and ordered a 19-year term.

In all, authorities have identified at least nine child victims of Tucker’s over the years.

Tucker offered a brief apology Friday when asked by Hall whether he had anything to say.

Kelly read a statement written by his client, in which he said he wished he could “fix” what happened and that the boys “find a way to get through this.”

“I hope they get help so they don’t end up like me,” Kelly read.

Tucker was acquainted with the children, and county Crime Victims Specialist Manon Affinito read a statement from the mother of one of them in which she called him “evil.”

“He stole (the victim’s) innocence and as much as I want to heal him, I can’t give him that back,” the mother wrote. “He hurt our entire family.”

Davenport told Hall that Tucker is a “self-admitted predator” who repeatedly abused multiple children.

“These weren’t one-time things, these were happening over a period of years,” Davenport said.

Tucker was a Level 3 sex offender at the time of his arrest last spring by State Police. He was a registered sex offender at that point, after he pleaded guilty in 1999 to felony charges related to allegations he abused four boys between the ages of 5 and 11. He served nearly 8 years in prison in that case.

With convictions for cases that involved sexual abuse of seven children, Tucker will likely face civil confinement proceedings when he becomes eligible for release. That could lead to him being held in a special facility for high-risk sex offenders after his prison term is over.

He will not be eligible for parole until he serves nearly 17 years of the prison term.
