Ignorant: Adil Rashid (pictured) did not
know it was illegal to have sex with
a 13-year-old girl
A muslim who raped a 13-year-old girl
he groomed on Facebook has been
spared a prison sentence after a judge
heard he went to an Islamic faith
school where he was taught that
women are worthless.
Adil Rashid, 18, claimed he was not
aware that it was illegal for him to
have sex with the girl because his
education left him ignorant of British
law.
Yesterday Judge Michael Stokes
handed Rashid a suspended sentence,
saying: ‘Although chronologically 18, it
is quite clear from the reports that
you are very naive and immature
when it comes to sexual matters.’
Earlier Nottingham Crown Court
heard that such crimes usually result
in a four to seven-year prison
sentence.
But the judge said that because
Rashid was ‘passive’ and ‘lacking
assertiveness’, sending him to jail
might cause him ‘more damage than
good’.
Rashid, from Birmingham, admitted
he had sex with the girl, saying he
had been ‘tempted by her’ after they
met online.
They initially exchanged messages on
Facebook before sending texts and
chatting on the phone over a two-
month period.
They then met up in Nottingham,
where Rashid had booked a room at a
Premier Inn.
The girl told police they stayed at the
hotel for two hours and had sex after
Rashid went to the bathroom and
emerged wearing a condom.
Rashid then returned home and went
straight to a mosque to pray. He was
arrested the following week after the
girl confessed what had happened to a
school friend, who informed one of her
teachers.
He told police he knew the girl was 13
but said he was initially reluctant to
have sex before relenting after being
seduced.
Earlier the court heard how Rashid
had ‘little experience of women’ due to
his education at an Islamic school in
the UK, which cannot be named for
legal reasons.
After his arrest, he told a psychologist
that he did not know having sex
with a 13-year-old was against the
law. The court heard he found it was
illegal only when he was informed by
a family member.
In other interviews with psychologists,
Rashid claimed he had been taught in
his school that ‘women are no more
worthy than a lollipop that has been
dropped on the ground’.
When Judge Stokes said Rashid ‘must
have known it was illegal, unless he
was going round with his eyes shut’,
defence lawyer Laban Leake said
reports suggested Rashid had a
‘degree of sexual naivety’.
‘The school he attended, it is not going
too far to say, can be described as a
closed community and on this occasion
this was perpetuated by his home life.
Rashid had pre-booked a family room
at the Premier Hotel in Goldsmith
Street, Nottingham where he took his
victim

‘It is not too far to say that he may
not have known that having sex
with a 13-year-old girl was illegal.’
Judge Stokes sentenced Rashid to nine
months youth custody, suspended for
two years, along with a two-year
probation supervision order.
Describing Rashid, the judge said: ‘He’s
had an unusual education, certainly in
terms of the sexual education
provided. Comparing women to
lollipops is a very curious way of
teaching young men about sex.’
But he said that Rashid knew what
he was doing was wrong.
‘It was made clear to you at the school
you attended that having sexual
relations with a woman before
marriage was contrary to the
precepts of Islam,’ he said.
Addressing Rashid, the judge said: ‘I
accept this was a case where the girl
was quite willing to have sexual
activity with you. But the law is there
to protect young girls, even though
they are perfectly happy to engage in
sexual activity.’

what about the 13year Egyptian girl and sani Yerima?
Since it isn't a rape, the pronounced jugdment is stil fair enough. But his orientation concerning women should be changed.
Wondering how religion is misguilding some young people when it is meant to liberate them from evil and ignorance.

The west put a girl maturity age at 18 while the Arab put theirs at the age of her puberty. . . .The fact that this is a crime in the west doesn't make it a crime to the Arabs.Same way they believe in capital punishment while some western countries don't.Even the judge understood what happened.
