Woman admits setting fire to husband's genitals

woman told a court in Australia on Monday that she set fire to her husband's genitals because she believed he was having an affair. The man later died of burn injuries.

Rajini Narayan, 46, told the South Australian Supreme Court in Adelaide, that she poured petrol on her husband, Satish Narayan, 47, and set him on fire, Australia's AAP news agency reported Monday.

Rajini had allegedly been subjected to 20 years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her husband, but she still loved him and considered him as her "god".


Rajini told the court her husband was having an affair and that she wanted to burn his genitals
Though she pleaded not guilty to the murder of her husband in 2008, the fire caused him 75 percent burns and he died in hospital a few weeks later.

The fire also damaged the couple's house in Unley, a suburb of Adelaide.

Prosecutor Tim Preston said Rajini Narayan told her neighbours: "I did it. It wasn't an accident."

She also told the court her husband was having an affair and that she wanted to burn his genitals.

Police found at the crime scene printouts of emails from her husband to another woman.

Defence counsel Lindy Powell said even though she suffered at his hands, she still loved him. "More than loved him, she idolised him."

Rajini went to their bedroom with a container of petrol and a candle. As she approached him, she told him she had seen his emails and that she was going to burn his genitals and tell his family what he had done."

In response, Satish called her a fat, dumb bitch, Powell told the jury.

It was then that Rajini lost control and threw the petrol and the candle on his back.

Unprotected sex on increase among young in Singapore

SINGAPORE: New survey data released in conjunction with World Contraception Day on Sunday, shows that unprotected sex is on the increase among young people in Singapore

Sixty-one per cent sexually active young people between the ages of 16 and 19 surveyed have had sex without contraception with a new partner, a 12 per cent increase from the previous survey done in 2009.

Only 23 per cent of young people in Singapore consider themselves to be very well informed about contraception options.

This compares with 51 per cent globally.

The survey, which supported by a coalition of 10 international organisations with an interest in sexual health said there is a significant disconnect between young people's attitudes to accepting responsibility for contraception and what they are doing in their day to day lives.

It added that the results also highlight that confusion around contraceptive options is still widespread, with highly unreliable contraceptive methods, such as the "withdrawal" method still being viewed as effective.

The survey involved 25 countries and over 5,000 young people aged between 15 and 24 across Asia Pacific, Europe, North American and Latin America.

The survey results are significant as the level of unplanned pregnancies is a major global concern, particularly among young people.

Worldwide, about a third of the 205 million pregnancies which occur each year are unplanned.

In Singapore, the figure is about 2000.

President of the Singapore Planned Parenthood Association, Edward Ong, said with an increasing number of unwanted and unplanned pregnancies as well as abortions, providing education and supportive services is critical, especially for young people.

One healthcare group in Singapore that is stepping to the plate is the Singapore Medical Group.

It will distribute educational booklets at its two gynaecology centres in Singapore.

Woman raped in 'public' inside car in capital

A Pakistani man lured an Ethiopian woman into his car and raped her in public in the middle of the day in Abu Dhabi, local newspapers reported on Wednesday.

The man offered the Ethiopian a lift and took her to a street near the Khalidiaya park in the middle of the capital to rape her inside his vehicle.

“After hesitation, she accepted his offer and got into the car. He then tied her up and threw her on the back seat,” the Arabic language daily Emarat Al Youm said.

“He drove away and parked the car on a street near Khalidiya park at around 12 noon and raped the woman after beating her up.”

The paper said the woman was about to go to the police when he grabbed her and threw her back into the car. He then called his friend and joined hands in beating her up again to prevent her from calling the police.

A passing woman heard her screaming and called the police, who rushed to the scene and arrested the two, the paper said.

The woman told the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court that she was beaten up and raped but the convict denied the charges, saying he had sex with her for money.

The court adjourned the case to October 5.

Woman teacher charged with sex offences against two pupils

A female teacher at an all-boys school in Merseyside has been charged with sexual misconduct against two pupils.

Hina Patel, 37, was working as a supply teacher when she allegedly engaged two boys, both aged 16, in sexual acts while at Birkdale High School.

She was immediately suspended after the allegations emerged earlier this year, and yesterday was charged on two counts of abusing her position of trust by sexual activity with a child.

Miss Patel, who had been at the school since September, was believed to be a wellbeing officer for junior pupils, and also helped prepare the school magazine.

The alleged activities are thought to have taken place over a period of several months.

Although the boys are thought to have been above the age of consent, it is a criminal offence for a person 'to engage in any sexual activity with a person aged under 18 with whom they have a relationship of trust, irrespective of the age of consent, even if the basis for their relationship is consensual.'

Last night parents spoke of their shock at the allegations. One mum told the Daily Mail: 'I am absolutely speechless. With physical sports of all kinds there are all sorts of things a parent can worry about, but this is one of the last things you'd expect.'

Birkdale High School's headteacher Gary Loveridge said the school was continuing to fully cooperate with police.

Mr Mamba is expected to be jailed for a considerable amount of time, according to the Daily Mail.

Ms Dube, who has has been placed under house arrest, will reportedly remain under 24-hour surveillance for the rest of her life, and will have to live with King Mswati III's mother.

Swaziland is one of Africa's last remaining absolute monarchies.

The 42-year-old king chooses a new wife year once a year at a 'reed ceremony', when every unmarried woman in the country has to parade half-naked in front of him.

Ms Dube, the mother of two of the king's 23 children, is not the first of his wives to run into trouble.

Two others fled to the UK in 2004 amid rumours they had been unfaithful.

Dad gets 14,400 years for rape

MANILA - A PHILIPPINE court on Friday sentenced a father to 14,400 years in prison after he was convicted of the near daily rape of his teenage daughter over the course of a year.

A trial court originally condemned the man, a rickshaw driver, to die in March 2006, four years after he was formally charged with 360 counts of rape - allegedly carried out during the year his wife worked in Hong Kong.

But the Court of Appeals in Manila commuted the sentence to 40 years for each count, according to a court decision seen Friday. The defendant can still appeal to the Supreme Court. It was not clear if he would.

The then-13-year-old victim, now 22, said her ordeal began in January 2001, when her mother left for work in Hong Kong as a domestic helper and left her three children with their father in Los Banos, a township just south of Manila.

She said he forced her to have intercourse with him almost every day, except when she had her period or on holidays, when he would make her perform oral sex.

The ordeal only ended after she and her siblings spent a vacation with their mother's relatives. Reluctant to return to her father at the end of the vacation, she broke down and told her family about the abuse. Her mother returned home from Hong Kong and helped her file the case. -- AP

Jailed for sexual grooming

A MAN posed as a schoolgirl on a social networking site and cajoled an 11-year-old girl to do indecent acts infront of her webcam.

Unknown to the victim, Poong Foo Yun, 25, a Malaysian, recorded her sexual acts, and later threatened to release the video onto the Internet if she did not comply with his instructions.

On Wednesday, the unemployed man was given a total of 19 months' jail on three charges. He had pleaded guilty to procuring a child to perform an indecent act; sexual penetration of a minor and sexual grooming in 2008.

Three other charges were taken into consideration during his sentencing.

Pressing for a substantial jail term, Deputy Public Prosecutor Kevin Yong cited several aggravating factors. He said Poong used the Internet to deceive the victim into believing that he was a 15-year-old girl when he was 23 at the time.

Poong, who was arrested at Redhill MRT station in Oct when he turned up to meet the victim, preyed on the young and vulnerable victim to satisfy his own lust, said the DPP.

Bishop 'coerced men into sex'

ATLANTA - TWO men have filed a lawsuit accusing Bishop Eddie Long of exploiting his role as pastor of an Atlanta-area megachurch to coerce them into sexual relationships when they were young members of his congregation.

Lawyers for the men, now 20 and 21, say they filed the lawsuit on Tuesday. The Associated Press generally does not identify people who say they were victims of sexual impropriety.

Craig Gillen, Bishop Long's attorney, said on Tuesday the pastor 'categorically denies the allegations.' 'We find it unfortunate that these two young men would take this course of action,' Mr Gillen said, adding that Bishop Long had not yet been served with copies of the lawsuits.

The men were 17- and 18-year-old members of Bishop Long's New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, when they say Bishop Long abused his spiritual authority to seduce them with with cars, money, clothes, jewelry, international trips and access to celebrities.

BJ Bernstein, an attorney representing the plaintiffs, said that when the relationships started, the plaintiffs were past the legal age of consent in Georgia, which is 15.

'Defendant Long has utilised his spiritual authority to coerce certain young male members ... into engaging in sexual acts and relationships for his own personal sexual grafitication,' the lawsuits read. When asked about a possible motive for the accusations, Mr Gillen referred to a break-in at Long's office in June. Ms Bergstein said one of the plaintiffs is facing a criminal burglary charge in the incident. She said the break-in was a way of lashing out at Bishop Long. -- AP

Husband allegedly raped maid while wife watched

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian police said yesterday they have arrested a couple for burning their Indonesian maid with a hot iron and scalding water, with the husband also accused of raping the woman repeatedly.

The latest case was among a string of shocking mistreatment of domestic workers that has strained ties between Malaysia and Indonesia, prompting Jakarta to temporarily ban maids from working in Malaysia since June last year.

Police in Penang said they arrested the couple, a 41-year-old contractor and his wife, on Saturday for abusing their maid from East Java who they had hired since February this year.

The New Straits Times identified the maid as Ms Win Faidah, 26. Besides being physically abused, Ms Win claimed she was repeatedly raped by her male employer, with his wife allegedly watching them having sex, according to the newspaper. The wife would beat Ms Win if she refused to have sex with her husband, according to the report.

The Star and New Straits Times newspapers said the woman was being treated at hospital for scald and burn injuries on her back and chest. The Indonesian was rescued by a man after the couple abandoned her at a roadside last week.

The couple, who reportedly have four children aged five to 15, face up to seven years in jail for causing grievous harm to the Indonesian woman. The husband could also face a maximum 20 years' imprisonment if convicted of raping the maid.

Cases of abuse of maids at the hands of Malaysian bosses are a frequent source of outrage in Indonesia, contributing to often prickly relations between the two countries.

Maid forced into sex romp

GEORGE TOWN - AN INDONESIAN maid has claimed that she was abused by a couple and forced into a threesome sex romp with them.

Her four-month ordeal ended when the couple felt they had had enough of her and chucked her by a roadside at Taman Cenderawasih in Nibong Tebal last Sunday, with RM30 (S$13) to fend for herself. She wandered around aimlessly for 12 hours before a good Samaritan took her to a police station in town the following day.

George Town OCPD Assistant Commissioner Gan Kong Meng said the victim, who looked traumatised and skinny, had burn and scald marks on her back and chest. She is being treated at the Penang Hospital for multiple bruises.

A medical inspection showed there were tears in her private parts, ACP Gan said at a press conference at the Patani Road police station here yesterday. The 26-year-old maid from East Java claimed she was raped several times by her employer, a grass-cutting contractor, while his wife would beat her up if she did not give in to her husband's sexual demands.

ACP Gan said the victim claimed the couple, aged 41 and 36, used a belt to hit her on the head, hands and legs. She also alleged that she was splashed with hot water and had her chest burnt with an iron.

The maid said she started working for the couple in February at their apartment in Jelutong here but the abuses only began in May. ACP Gan said police arrested the couple at 9.15pm on Friday after five days of trying to locate their apartment as the victim was not familiar with the area.

Teen molested five girls

A TEENAGER who molested five young girls over a period of 3 1/2 months was sent for reformative training on Wednesday.

Tan Yan Xu, 16, who was diagnosed to be suffering from depression and had obsessive thoughts, preyed on victims in Tampines between Sept 22 last year and Jan 5 this year.

88,100 rapes in US last year

WASHINGTON - THERE were 88,097 rapes in the United States in 2009 alone, according to FBI statistics, but the crime remains one of the least reported and prosecuted, witnesses told US lawmakers on Tuesday.

'It's widely recognised that rape is one of the most underreported offenses in the United States with empirical studies estimating that merely 15-20 per cent of cases are reported to the police,' Michelle Dempsey, a professor at Villanova University School of Law told senators.

Roughly one in six women in the United States will experience sexual aggression during their lifetime and half of the victims were younger than 18 at the time of the assault, an investigation presented to a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee said.

Only five per cent of rapists are convicted and only three percent are imprisoned, Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, told the committee.

'Fifteen out of 16 rapists in America will walk free,' said Scott Berkowitz, president of the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. That comes despite the FBI's classification of rape as second only in seriousness to murder.

Experts said a range of factors make rape difficult to prosecute, including the way it is defined, victims' fear, their desire to avoid humiliating witness testimony, and unsympathetic or incompetent policing. -- AFP

A Taiwanese man raped his stepdaughter after his wife refused to have sex with him.

The incident was exposed recently when the wife returned home and saw her husband raping the girl, a Year Five pupil.

She pulled the husband away from the girl and slapped him.

Then she sent the girl and two other younger daughters to a nanny's home, leaving the man and a son at their home in Taipei.

The nanny, who felt the girl was behaving strangely, managed to dig out the real story from her.

She immediately took the girl to lodge a police report.

The father, 38, said he was drunk and thought the girl was his wife.

But it is learnt that he had regularly raped the girl since his wife refused to have sex with him two years ago.

He later cried and said that he regretted the act.

His wife has also demanded a divorce.

Teen rapes 99 year old woman

Australian police are hunting down a man who sexually assaulted a 99-year-old woman in Melbourne.

The sex attack took place last week when the old woman was alone at her home in Koornang Road, Ormond, The Age reported Friday.

A man, who the police suspect is in the age group between 17 and 22, knocked on her door and then forced his way inside between 10.30 am and 11 a.m.

The attacker then physically and sexually assaulted her for up to half an hour. He stole several items from the house and then fled.

The woman suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital.

Police have released an image of the man and a T-shirt he is believed to have been wearing during the attack, which bears the words "Al fresco" across the front.

The attacker is described as Caucasian, aged between 17 and 20 years old, approximately 160cm tall, with a thin build and brown straight but messy hair.

Detective Inspector Glenn Davies of the Sexual Crimes Squad said the attack had a "profound effect on the woman and her family".

"We're very concerned about this type of crime.This woman is a grandmother, and a great-grandmother."

"I think people in the community would be absolutely appalled by this," Davies was quoted as saying.

He said the assault left the victim "very traumatised" and she was in hospital for almost a week.

The woman who was pushing 100 received cuts around her face and cuts on her legs, and she was struck on the head with an object.

Davies said: "Obviously this callous disregard for this person is a concern to us. The person may have been loitering or stalking in the area before the attack occurred."

FATHER-DAUGHTER INCEST CASE

Woman granted discharge
But court's decision does not amount to acquittal; warrant issued for father

A WOMAN accused of willingly having sex with her father was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal yesterday.

The 23-year-old technical executive was charged earlier this year with permitting her 46-year-old father to have sex with her in the master bedroom of their flat in Serangoon sometime in April 2008.

The father, a freelance plumber, failed to show up in court on a similar charge that day and an arrest warrant has been issued against him. Police investigations are still ongoing. The court then placed a gag order to withhold the name of the accused.

This is the first time any woman here has been charged with such an offence - which carries a jail term of up to five years.

Mr S. S. Dhillon, who represented the accused, told reporters yesterday that his client, who no longer lives with the family, was relieved with the outcome.

He added his client has been sent for psychiatric examination.

Norwegian jailed for child sex

SIEM REAP - A CAMBODIAN court on Tuesday jailed a 63-year-old Norwegian man for 18 months on charges of paying for sex with a teenage boy in Siem Reap, the country's north-western tourist hub.

Sletten Rolf was arrested in Jan in the province - home to the famed Angkor Wat temples - for soliciting paid sex with a 16-year-old boy in 2009.

The provincial court sentenced Rolf to three years in prison, but ordered half the term to be suspended. Cambodia's age of consent is 15 but all payment for sex is illegal.

Cambodia has struggled to shed its reputation as a haven for paedophiles, putting dozens of foreigners in jail for child sex crimes or deporting them to face trial in their home countries since 2003.
