There are a lot of leftists who say that the hysteria around Muslim immigrant rape in Europe is just made up, but a move to change the laws about rape in Germany may force them to face the facts.
Watch below:
As the UK Independent points out, the change in the law is at least partly because of the immigrant rape epidemic:
German lawmakers have voted in favour of a strict new rape bill that will allow sex crime victims to file criminal complaints if they reject their attackers with a clear “no”.
The “no means no” law comes after hundreds of alleged sexual assaults took place in the west German city of Cologne during New Year’s Eve celebrations.
German minister for women, Manuela Schwesig, said: “In the past there were cases where women were raped but the perpetrators couldn’t be punished. The change in the law will help increase the number of victims who choose to press charges, lower the number of criminal prosecutions that are shelved and ensure sexual assaults are properly punished.”
According to Justice Ministry figures, only one in 10 rapes in Germany is reported and just 8 per cent of rape trials result in a conviction. Under the new law, prosecutors and courts can take into account that a victim didn’t resist assault because they were incapacitated, surprised or feared greater violence if they objected.
And, as a side effect of the law, it’ll allow authorities to deport immigrants convicted of rape much easier:
The new law also allows authorities to more easily deport foreigners who are convicted of sexual assaults, a measure seen as a direct result of the Cologne attacks. Prosecutors in Cologne received more than 1,100 criminal complaints following the New Year’s assaults, including about 500 allegations involving sexual crimes.
The first trial for sexual assault, against two men from Algeria and Iraq, began yesterday in Cologne.
It looks like they’re taking the threat more seriously, but they’re just treating a symptom, and not the underlying cause.
