The National 10 June 2021
There was a front page report in the PNG media of an uncle who raped his niece. He was to be sent to prison for his crime.
But his niece told the police that he was a good man whose children will suffer if he goes to prison. She forgives him.
It seems that a new ball game may have started with negotiation between family rapist and young victim.
The pressure is on the young woman or child to assume the blame if the rapist's family suffers. This may be intolerable pressure.
There are so many men in prison for underage sex which is regarded as rape. Can they now send family around to the girl to pressure her into forgiving him?
