In Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Islamic world, this kind of behavior is broadly tolerated. Women are so devalued, that men look to other men and boys for sexual pleasure. Also, the Qur’an promises not just virgins to the blessed, but boys like “scattered pearls”.

“Those are the ones brought near in the Gardens of Pleasure, a company of the former peoples and a few of the later peoples, on thrones woven, reclining on them, facing each other. There will circulate among them young boys made eternal with vessels, pitchers and a cup from a flowing spring.” — Qur’an 56:11-18

“And they will be given to drink a cup whose mixture is of ginger, a fountain within Paradise named Salsabeel. There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think of them as scattered pearls. And when you look there, you will see pleasure and great dominion.” — Qur’an 76:17-20

“Saint-Brieuc: he attacks two minors and defends himself: ‘I did not know the laws of your country,'” translated from “Saint-Brieuc : il agresse deux mineures et se défend : ‘Je ne connaissais pas les lois de votre pays,'” Actu, July 8, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):

On June 25, 2021, the Assize Court of Saint-Brieuc sentenced a 30-year-old Afghan to 15 years imprisonment for the rape of a 12-year-old boy. On Thursday, July 7, 2022, this man was taken from his cell in Brest to explain himself regarding other acts of sexual assault, committed 4 years ago in the same city.

A smile on his face

It is in complete relaxation, with a smile on his face, accompanied by his interpreter, that the defendant comes to explain himself at the bar of the Saint-Brieuc criminal court. He is accused of acts of sexual assault and harassment of two underage girls in 2018. Facts that occurred a few days before the rape of the little boy.

“I did not know your laws”

On the stand, he tries to justify himself: “In my country, it is normal to have sex with young boys because women are inaccessible. When I arrived in France I did not know your laws, but since I learned that it was prohibited.”

He landed on French territory in 2016 and settled in Saint-Brieuc in February 2018. He committed his first sexual assault on April 16 of the same year by approaching a young underage girl on rue Mansart in St-Brieuc. Claiming to need help in broken English, he manages to lure her into his room in a home, taking care to lock the door. The rest is told by the young victim.

“He slammed me against the wall holding me down with his knee, he was way too strong, I was trying to resist, but I couldn’t get away, he was trying to kiss me and tear my clothes off, I was terrified, he ended up telling me that if I wanted to leave I had to touch his penis. When I told him I would call the police, he immediately opened the door.”

A few days later, the young victim was hospitalized for a suicide attempt, she would repeat this gesture of despair 5 times.

“I wanted to touch her a little, but she wouldn’t. If she was a decent girl, she wouldn’t have come up to my room.” Sitting just behind him, the young girl is in tears listening to her executioner soil her a little more…

On May 22, another young girl filed a complaint. She recounts her ordeal at the bar: “He told me, ‘Miss, Miss, come and have sex with me.’ He was insistent and chased me, I was very scared, I warned my parents who called the police.”

The defendant defends himself in his own way: “It’s true, I said that but she was shouting ‘Get out, get out,!’ but I didn’t understand that word.”

Mr. Tabard intervenes for the victims. “The defendant reacts to the five suicide attempts of the victim with a broad smile, and this is unacceptable, he has no remorse, no regrets.”

After a short deliberation, the court condemned the defendant to three years firm about his behavior and refuses all requests for a commutation of the sentence.

He will have to serve his 3 years to follow, which brings the total to 18 years in prison. A provision of 2000 euros will have to be paid to the civil parties pending the dismissal of the civil case, which is fixed for February 3.
