  1. > Mr Kebatu denies three counts of sexual assault, one attempted sexual assault, one charge of harassment and one of attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity. The trial continues

    Not really that sorry if he can’t even admit what he did. Clearly not capable of living in a civilised society.

  2. Asylum seekers and struggle-snuggles, name a more iconic duo.

  3. I thought this sorta thing never happened and we imagine it?

  4. I’m glad at long last that this sort of harassment, which women and girls have been subjected to since forever, is now being seen as unacceptable, criminal, predatory and taken seriously by the police and other authorities. I trust his sentence will reflect that we won’t allow women and girls to be subjected to such harassment.

    What has changed recently that this is taken seriously and no longer dismissed as ‘banter’, ‘a bit of fun’ or ‘boys will be boys’?

  5. Either he will walk free or they will give him a lenient sentence of a few months or a year, if they feel like being strict.

  6. I mean is it really any surprise? We’re importing men from Ethiopia, which had one of the most severe mass rape incidents that the world has seen in recent history, that being during the Tigray war from 2020 to 2022. Not to mention the fact that sub-Saharan Africa as a whole has one of the highest childhood sexual violence rates in the world as per UNICEF.

    We are not all the same. We are not interchangeable units. We are not equal.

  7. “I’m so sorry but I didn’t do it”

    Sounds like a sincere apology to me

  8. Judge rules he has “tough life” and gives a suspended sentence

  9. Huh why would the Daily Mail mention the person’s ethnicity despite it being irrelevant?

  10. When his plane lands in Addis Ababa, I’ll forgive him.
