Words fail me. A 14 year old disabled girl was in a shopping centre in Uppsala, Sweden last November. Two boys dragged her into the disabled toilets where they took it in turns to rape her, over several hours, beating her buttocks and back and threatening her with violence if she reported the rape. They also filmed it all, and said they would spread the video if she told anyone. Thankfully, she ignored that, told the police and they have found and charged the two boys. So who are the two boys? The first is a 17 year old Syrian immigrant who has been given a Swedish passport. As such, under Swedish law he cannot be deported. He has been charged with making child pornography (which he admits) as well as rape. He was also convicted of aggravated assault after repeatedly kicking a man in the head a couple of months ago. For that offence had to do 70 hours of youth service. The second is a 14 year old Afghan immigrant. Under Swedish law he cannot be found to be criminally liable because of his age. Therefore he will be assessed for guilt but there will be no penalty even if he is found guilty.
