Comment: Why when he spoke to the bailif did he not tell the gentleman that he should have taken the matter further and informed the relavant person(s). I feel for this person who sounds like he had a valid reason for missing his court duties, if what he says is true I feel the judge should have been more understanding. Not everyone knows what to do in certain circumstances
Comment: This come to me like the girl co-operated fully. Why was she out on the road that time? Where was the ever so caring mother that reported it? Why didnt she call the police when they put her off at monkey hill every body has phone and even when she reach home she could have notify sumone. These young girls are out teasing the man and instead of them doing what is right they fall victims. What the guys did are totally wrong but i strongly doubt that she was rape.
Comment: and didnt tell anyone until saturday afternoon...when you are not in the shoes of someone we are so eager to judge!!! You people have to understand it is not easy as abc for a rape victim to come forward and say i got raped!! worst if she was raped by someone of authority......
Comment: Some of these comments amaze me.....The act on a whole is DISGUSTING!! We are all human and anyone with a heart would quickly feel sorry for the girl....yes we are all saying what a 16 year old doing on the road so late at night but this has been an acceptable pattern for some years now and i dont recall seeing anyone protesting about it! SO THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE! Some of you are saying why report it saturday afternoon..did it ever occur to anyone that this lady may have been traumatized??
Comment: The Judge could have been a bit more lenient based on the reason for his absence. Because some one might be intelligent doenst nessecery mean they know it all.
Comment: the soldiers who raped that girl needs b to be discharged from the army and be charged by police as a civilian instead of a soldier...... this is the height of shame to the people of the country and to the people of this our great nation...
Comment: No you've all been brainwashed by Dwyer Astaphan. He's a liar, racist, traitor, etc. Anybody, be they Sam or Tim, that criticizes our beloved PM has been brainwashed.--END SARCASM
