The National Institute for Crime prevention and the Reintegration of Offenders, says the Supreme Court of Appeal’s decision for the reduction of the sentence of the rapist of a 15 year old child by her step father is of huge concern.
Nicro says this decision cannot go unchallenged.
Nicro Communication & marketing Manager Jacques Sibomana said that whilst one accepts the ruling of the court, it is outrageous that the court uses the acceptance of gifts as an indication that the child allowed the sex in anticipation of gifts.
Sibomana added that the court failed to consider the unequal power and control that this parent obviously had over the child.
