“A 17-year-old girl was raped outside a hospital in Finland and the rape charges were dropped. The men were in their thirties.” Hello Finland what the hell?

  1. Why the hell are people not raising hell about this? Why is the judge not being looked into? How in his right mind could he drop the charges against the rapists??

    As a Latvian who has been to Finland and loves it thought this was not possible there. What has your country turned into ??

  2. It has been discussed in the media quite a bit ~~and, afaik, the prosecutor will take the case to a higher court to be re-evaluated.~~

    EDIT: As people have commented, the prosecutor will not take the case further, but the victim might.

  3. Stop posting fake news. The charges weren’t “dropped” – they were taken to court, however, there wasn’t good enough evidence to secure a conviction.

  4. I don’t understand why you are getting downvoted so much.

    In my opinion it is titally fine to natural to be upset about this case.

    We have 2 possibilities a 17 yo girl walked out of the hospital to get gangbanged in a bush in all 3 holes or some 3 animals abused a drunk child.
    The odds of the situstion being the former case are extremely low so I think its totally fine to be upset that it has to go to higher court.

  5. In cases like this, when the verdict is contrary to the public’s intuition, it’s almost always due to the fact that the court has information the public doesn’t.

    In this case the court has seen the videos (both CC and those videoded by the men) the public hasn’t.

  6. Regarding the videos of her hanging out with the man happy etc, I mean why are we all pretending we have not been blacked out drunk before? As I understand her blood alcohol was way over limit. Obviously she might have in that moment acted happy and even “given consent” but I still think if you’re heavy over limit and consent it shouldn’t count- I would claim I’m the queen of Sweden when in pissed.

    You shouldn’t lose all legal protection just because you’re black out drunk. And also since CCTV historically looks like it was filmed on a potato how can they tell she was happy with them etc?

  7. Funny how rapists are let go often without charges. I was SA’d a few years ago, they caught 3 of them and let them go just because “they look like proper citizens” (meaning dressing up with class, I suppose) and it just makes me sick in my stomach how they walk free without consequences.

  8. Don’t believe every(any?)thing you read. Getting upset about it, especially when it probably isn’t true, is a waste of energy.

  9. It is a shocking case that is still generating discussion. Helsingin Sanomat just published an [opinion](https://www.hs.fi/mielipide/art-2000011212025.html) by a child psychiatrist regarding the case – it is still in people’s minds. The safety of the A&E involved has also generated discussion. I’m not sure if the discourse will lead to any proper action, unfortunately it’s very hard to rock status quo in this country even if it’s this awful. However I believe there is an initiative to have protests regarding the theme of sexual violence later in the summer.

  10. In relation to this, morally i found it quite weird to see sober people inside clubs or even waiting outside to sleep with drunk women regardless of their age. It is not consent if you’re sober and the other person is totally drunk.

  11. Yeah, all I can say as a Finn is that I am, and everyone I know is horrified about this. There’s no making sense of it, and that’s why it’s so fucking scary.

  12. Yeah but maybe the woman was wearing a skirt or something.
