Article unfortunately falls short of identifying the most important aspects of this case. Who are the parents of the rapist, and how influential are they?
Article says it occurred in 2023, so possibly same old case? This was nonetheless the first I've heard of it, so new to me.
But yes, what I'm highlighting here is high suspicion this is another case of wealth being above the law.
If its going to cost the state too much to fight the case they'll walk away and convict a bunch of poor people with cheap lawyers.
