Last year Rose Kalemba wrote a blog post explaining how hard it had been – when she was raped as a 14-year-old girl – to get a video of the attack removed from a popular porn website. Dozens of people then contacted her to say that they were facing the same problem today.
The nurse stopped at the doorway leading out of Rose’s hospital room and turned to face her. “I’m sorry this happened to you,” she said, her voice shaking. “My daughter was raped too.” Rose looked at the nurse. She couldn’t be older than 40, Rose thought, her daughter must be young, like me.
She thought back to the morning after the assault, to the conversations with the emotionless policeman and the clinical doctor. Everyone had used the phrase “alleged” when referring to the violent, hours-long overnight attack that Rose had described to them. With the exception of her father and grandmother, most of her relatives hadn’t believed her either.
With the nurse it was different. “She believed me,” Rose says. It was a small crack of hope – someone recognising and acknowledging what had happened to her. A wave of relief washed over her, which felt like it could be the start of her recovery.
But soon hundreds of thousands of people would see the rape for themselves and from those viewers she received no sympathy.
A decade later, Rose Kalemba brushes her thick thigh-length black hair at the bathroom mirror, twirling the ends with her fingers to form natural ringlets. This wouldn’t have been the case in the months after her attack – all the mirrors in her home had to be covered with blankets, as she couldn’t bear to catch her reflection.
She is now 25 and she has organised routines of self-care into her daily life.
Taking care of her hair is one. Combing it takes time and effort, it’s almost an act of meditation. She knows she has beautiful hair, people comment on it all the time. Every morning she also makes herself a cup of cacao, a pure, raw form of chocolate that she believes has healing qualities, and writes down her goals in a diary.
She deliberately puts them in the present tense. “I’m an excellent driver,” is one goal. “I’m happily married to Robert,” is another. “I’m a great mother.” Sitting down to talk, Rose pulls her hair over her shoulders – it covers most of her body, her own armour.
Growing up in a small town in Ohio, it wasn’t unusual for Rose to go for a walk alone before bedtime. It cleared her head, she enjoyed the fresh air and peace. So that evening in summer 2009 started like most for 14-year-old Rose.
But then a man appeared from the shadows. At knifepoint he forced her into a car. Sitting in the passenger seat was a second man, aged about 19 – she’d seen him around town. They drove her to a house on the other side of town and raped her over a period of 12 hours, while a third man filmed parts of the assault.
Rose was in shock – she could hardly breathe. She was badly beaten and stabbed on her left leg, her clothes bloody. She fell in and out of consciousness.
At some point, one of the men got out a laptop and showed Rose videos of attacks on other women. “I am of first nations ethnicity,” she says. “The attackers were white and the power structure was clear. Some of the victims were white but many were women of colour.”
Later, the men threatened to kill her. Forcing herself to collect her senses, Rose began to talk to them. If they released her, she wouldn’t reveal their identities, she said. Nothing would ever happen to them, no-one would know.
Taking her back in the car, men dumped her in a street about half an hour’s walk from her home.
Walking through the door, she caught sight of her reflection in the hall mirror. A gash in her head was oozing blood.
Her father, Ron, and some extended family were in the living room about to have lunch. Still bleeding from her stab wound, she explained what had happened to her.
“My dad called the police, he immediately comforted me, but the others said I had asked for it by walking out late at night,” Rose says. At the hospital, Rose was greeted by a male doctor and male police officer. “They both dealt with me in an extremely matter-of-fact manner,” she adds, “There was no kindness, no warmth.”
The male police officer asked her if this had started as consensual. Was it a night gone wild, he wondered. Rose was stunned. “Here I was beaten beyond recognition. Stabbed and bleeding…”
Rose told them no, it had not been consensual. And still reeling from what she had been through, she said she didn’t know who had attacked her. The police had no leads to go on.
When Rose was released the next day, she attempted suicide, unable to imagine how she could possibly live a normal life now. Her brother found her in time.
A few months later, Rose was browsing MySpace when she found several people from her school sharing a link. She was tagged. Clicking on it, Rose was directed to the pornography-sharing site, Pornhub. She felt a wave of nausea as she saw several videos of the attack on her.
“The titles of the videos were ‘teen crying and getting slapped around’, ‘teen getting destroyed’, ‘passed out teen’. One had over 400,000 views,” Rose recounts.
“The worst videos were the ones where I was passed out. Seeing myself being attacked where I wasn’t even conscious was the worst.”
She made an instant decision to not tell her family about the videos – most of them had not been supportive anyway. Telling them would achieve nothing. Within days it was evident that most of her peers at school had seen the videos.
“I was bullied,” she says, “People would say that I asked for it. That I led men on. That I was a slut.” Some boys said their parents had told them to stay away from her, in case she seduced them and then accused them of rape. “People have an easier time blaming the victim,” she says.
Rose says she emailed Pornhub several times over a period of six months in 2009 to ask for the videos to be taken down. “I sent Pornhub begging emails. I pleaded with them. I wrote, ‘Please, I’m a minor, this was assault, please take it down.'” She received no reply and the videos remained live.
“The year that followed I withdrew into myself. I disassociated,” she recalls, “I felt nothing. Numb. I kept to myself.” She would wonder, with every stranger who made eye contact with her, if they had seen the videos. “Had they got off to it? Had they gratified themselves to my rape?”
She couldn’t bear to look at herself. That’s why she covered the mirrors with blankets. She would brush her teeth and wash in the dark, thinking all the time about who could be watching the videos.
Then she had an idea. She set up a new email address posing as a lawyer, and sent Pornhub an email threatening legal action. “Within 48 hours the videos disappeared.”
Months later Rose began to receive counselling, finally revealing the identity of her attackers to the psychologist, who was duty bound to report them to the police. But she didn’t tell her family or the police about the videos.
The police collected victim impact statements from Rose and her family. The attackers’ lawyers argued that Rose had consented to sex, and the men were charged not with rape but “contributions towards the delinquency of a minor” – a misdemeanour – and received a suspended sentence.
Rose and her family did not have the energy, or the resources, to fight for a tougher sentence. It’s clear that Ron Kalemba thinks a lot about what happened to his daughter all those years ago. What could he have done differently, if he’d known more, he wonders. His daughter changed after the assault. She went from being a straight-A student to missing classes, rarely handing in her homework.
We’re sitting in a park near his home that Ron visits often. He and Rose sometimes read from passages of the Bible from a picnic bench together. They don’t talk much about the past.
“It feels like the whole world let her down,” he says. “Her abuse, it was like it was a big joke to everyone. It changed her life completely, and people let her down every step of the way.”
Ron only heard about the Pornhub videos in 2019, when a blog that Rose shared about her abuse went viral on social media. He had no idea that his daughter’s rape had been seen by so many people, nor that people in her school had mocked her for it.
“I knew a girl in eighth grade when I was in school,” Ron recalls. “People would pick on her, and she would get beaten up. And none of us would say anything, we just watched it happen.”
“I ran into her years later and she thought that I was a bully too, because I had just stood by and watched it happen. In reality it had only been a couple of people who actually hurt her but she thought we were all against her because we watched it and said nothing. That’s what the silence felt like to her.”
Is this what he thinks happened to Rose? “Yes but it was worse for her. She had a digital crowd of bullies too. Some silent and some abusive. Hers is a different world.” Over the next few years Rose would often disappear into the digital world.
She threw herself into writing, expressing herself on blogs and social media, sometimes using aliases, sometimes her real name. One day in 2019, as she was scrolling through her social media feed she saw a number of posts about Pornhub. People were praising it for donating to bee conservation charities, adding caption facilities for deaf viewers, donating to aid domestic violence charities and providing $25,000 scholarships for women who want to enter the tech industry.
According to Pornhub, there were 42 billion visits to its website in 2019 – an increase of 8.5 billion from the year before, with a daily average of around 115 million. And 1,200 searches per second.
“It’s impossible to miss Pornhub if you use social media,” says Rose. “They’ve done a great job at positioning themselves as a ‘woke’ mission, almost transcending porn, but videos titled like mine are still on the site. There’s no way of knowing if there are rapes on there and the victims don’t know it.”
In the viral blog post, Rose shared a detailed account of her rape, and called out Pornhub for turning a blind eye until she pretended to be a lawyer. Dozens of women and some men responded to her post, saying that videos showing them being sexually abused had also appeared on the site.
In a statement to the BBC, Pornhub said: “These horrific allegations date back to 2009, several years prior to Pornhub being acquired by its current owners, so we do not have information on how it was handled at that time. Since the change in ownership, Pornhub has continuously put in place the industry’s most stringent safeguards and policies when it comes to combating unauthorised and illegal content, as part of our commitment to combating child sex abuse material. The company employs Vobile, a state-of-the-art third party fingerprinting software, which scans any new uploads for potential matches to unauthorised material and makes sure the original video doesn’t go back up on the platform.”
When asked why videos with titles similar to those uploaded featuring Rose’s rape, such as “teen abused while sleeping” “drunk teen abuse sleeping” “extreme teen abuse” are still active on Pornhub, the company said: “We allow all forms of sexual expression that follow our Terms of Use, and while some people may find these fantasies inappropriate, they do appeal to many people around the world and are protected by various freedom of speech laws.”
Pornhub introduced a flagging tab for inappropriate content in 2015, but stories about videos of abuse on the website continue to surface.
In October last year a 30-year-old Florida man, Christopher Johnson, faced charges for sexually abusing a 15-year-old and posting videos of the attack on Pornhub.
In a statement to the BBC regarding this case, Pornhub said its policy is to “remove unauthorised content as soon as we are made aware of it, which is exactly what we did in this case”.
In 2019 Pornhub also removed a channel called Girls Do Porn, when 22 women sued it for forcing them to take part in videos, and the channel’s owners were charged with sex trafficking. “People may say that what happened to me a decade ago isn’t a reality of today, but that is simply not the case,” says Rose.
“Women have told me that it is still happening, after they saw my blog. And these are Western women with access to social media. “I don’t doubt that videos in other parts of the world, in places we know porn is consumed in large bulks like the Middle East and Asia are places where the victim might not even be aware that their abuse is being shared.”
The BBC also spoke to one woman who emailed Rose. A video showing her being abused remained for years on a smaller site, even though she sent several emails to the company, and left a post in the comments section under the video. The woman, from California, says that the video has also been downloaded and shared on other porn sites. Lawyers for the website told the BBC that their clients had “no knowledge of any such situation”. The BBC then provided a link to the video, as well as screenshots of comments by the woman requesting for it to be removed. It was finally removed in the following days.
“What happened Rose in 2009 is still happening today on several free streaming porn sites – and not just Pornhub,” says Kate Isaacs from Not Your Porn, a group that investigates porn sites. “There’s nothing we can do about rogue, smaller porn sites set up by individuals but large commercial sites like Pornhub need to be held accountable and they are not right now. No laws apply to them.”
So-called revenge pornography, which is a type of image-based sexual abuse, has been a criminal offence in England and Wales since 2015. The law defines it as “the sharing of private, sexual materials, either photos or videos, of another person, without their consent and with the purpose of causing embarrassment or distress”. It is punishable by up to two years’ imprisonment. However platforms that share this content have not been held accountable so far.
“Porn sites are aware that there is disturbing and non-consensual content on their platforms,” says Isaacs. “They know that there is no way we can differentiate fantasy role-play acting, or faked production scenarios, or real abuse.”
She set up Not Your Porn when a sex video featuring a friend of hers (who was under 16 at the time) was uploaded on to Pornhub. Kate says more than 50 women in the UK have come to her in the past six months to say that sexual videos have been posted without their consent on pornography sites. Thirty of them were uploaded to Pornhub.
She also points out that Pornhub and other websites enable viewers to download videos on to their own computer – so even if the video is taken down from one website it’s easy for any of these users to share it or upload it again to another.
Not Your Porn are campaigning for laws in that UK that would make the sharing of non-consensual pornographic videos a criminal offence.
Rose has hope for the future. In her early 20s she met her boyfriend, Robert, who she says has helped her discuss and come to terms with her abuse. She hopes they’ll get married and have a daughter. And her dog Bella, a pitbull is a source of strength.
“I’ve grown up around pitbulls. They may have a reputation of being aggressive but they’re so sweet,” she says. “They’re aggressive only if abused by humans,” she adds pointedly. “In many ways, I have a life sentence,” Rose say. “Even now I could be at the grocery store and I wonder if a stranger has seen my video.”
But she no longer wants to be silent, she says. “The most powerful weapon of a rapist is our silence.”

Fash20:
It either you're just bias or dumb. Every sensible human being knows that BH attack anywhere and everywhere(mosque, church, market school etc) indiscriminately. If you don't shared common belief with them you are an infidel.

did any one die?

....and no one die. who is fooling who now

abeg! give me her number

if na so your papa take dey kiss your mama that means them really kiss

That is the same thing most religionists claiming Christians often concludes.
The FRUIT is POLITICS not SEX!
Satan wanted to rule mankind, he knew quite well that Adam and Eve will both die as God had warned regarding the consequences of rebellion, after they're gone Satan can start RULING their descendants as their GOD and KING {2Corinthians 4:4 compared to 1John 5:19}
That was his plan!
That's why God foretold that he will put ENMITY between Satan and the woman, and between Satan's offspring and her offspring he will crush Satan's head and Satan will bruise him in the heel! Genesis 3:15
There will be an everlasting enmity between Satan and God's organization (faithful angels and humans)
Between Satan's seed (Politicians) and God's faithful servants.
The leader of God's organization (Jesus) will finally destroy Satan, but before then Satan will wound God's only begotten son by
©Killing him as a man on earth.
©Creating countless FALSE religions in Jesus name to hinder his righteous influence.
Ever since then Satan has recruited powerful world rulers as his AGENTS to continue the fight against God's organization on earth!
Cain ~ He wanted glory so much that he killed his humble and righteous brother! Genesis 4:8
Nimrod ~ Became a mighty killer and he tried to build a city to continue ruling as their King, until God changed the languages and all the people scattered! Genesis 10:8-12
Pharaohs ~ Satan used the Egyptian Kings to conquer the world in order to rule the whole earth!
Assyrians ~ (Southern Iran) later began ruling after the fall of Egypt when all their might warriors perished in the red sea!
Babylon ~ (Iraq) conquered them and began ruling the earth under Nebuchadnezzar. That was the first time Satan merged religion with politics by the golden statue and asked everyone to bow at the sound of NATIONAL ANTHEM!
Medo-Persia ~ (Northern Iran and Orientals) formed alliance to recover world power from Iraq, that's why both nations has remained as enemies till today!
Greece ~ conquered Persia under the command of Alexander the great, Alexander died naturally and his kingdom break into pieces.
Rome ~ became world power during the time of Julius Caesar, their dominance lasted longer than any other because they hypnotized their enemies with the power of religion (Catholicism)
England ~ conquered Rome and became the seventh world power, and it's their own people with Jews that became the main tribe ruling America, that's why their ties can't be broken!
All these are Satan's agents that's why God's word foretold that Jesus as God's chosen King of his kingdom will destroy all of them! Daniel 2:44
So if you're a politician today know now that you're still EATING that forbidden fruit! John 6:15 compared to Luke 18:18-23

fools

noooooo! u only luk lyk a poor fool

so ur gain na be??

.....and.......

d man took d kids 2 d woman huz and came back 2 d church

pls op dats nt how it really happened

the father of d kids came 2 my shop 2day

careless princess where are you from?

na dis thin thing

She was an average Japanese teenager who lived a good life, until one day the four most vile, horrendous and disgusting humans in all of history snatched that life away from her.
Now, this next part will elaborate on the truly despicable and sickening things the four boys did, and why they deserve a special layer of Hell reserved for them.
Seriously, don’t scroll down if you don’t think you can handle it. Mental scarring and trauma may occur.
On November 25, 1988 Junko Furuta was kidnapped by 4 teenage boys – one of them being Hiroshi Miyano, who had been rejected by her when he asked her out. The boys took Junko Furuta to the house owned by the parents of one of the kidnappers in the Ayase district of Adachi, Tokyo.
While in captivity, the kidnapers forced Junko Furuta to call her parents and tell them that she’d run away and is going to stay with a friend, but insist that she’s not in danger. Not able to realize what was coming and too scared to remain non-compliant, Junko did exactly as she was told, ultimately forestalling a manhunt which would have otherwise followed her disappearance.
Parents of Nobuharu Minato in whose house Junko Furuta was kept paid their son a visit on a few occasions but under a threat of increased violence against her, Junko was requested to pretend that she was a girlfriend of one of the boys. However even when it became apparent that she was a captive in the house, the parents did nothing for fear of retaliation from Hiroshi Miyano who was known to have the Yakuza connections.
During the course of 44 days following her kidnapping, Junko Furuta was forced to withstand unspeakable suffering. What she went through before murder included:
-Was humiliated by being kept Unclad most of the time
-Was raped every day in both vagina and anus. More than 100 men are believed to have raped her – the captor with Yakuza connections is said to have invited other Yakuza members to have a go at a 16 year old. She’s estimated to have gone through about 500 rapes. At one point she was raped by 12 different men in one day
-Endured physical beatings included hits with golf clubs and bashing of face against cement floor
-The 100 men who are believed to have raped her had also reportedly enjoyed urinating on the girl
-Frequently, in order to turn her rapists on, she was forced to masturbate in front of them and/or their guests
-Had various objects forced into her vagina and anus, including a bottle, an iron bar, scissors, roasting needles, grilled chicken skewers, etc.
-Was provided with only limited supply of food or water
-Was forced to eat live cockroaches and drink her own urine
-Had fireworks forced up her ass and set them off, causing serious burns
-Had her left nipple ripped off with pliers
-Had dumbbells dropped on her stomach while laid on the floor with hands and feet tied up – this resulted in loss of bowel control
-Was hanged from the ceiling and used as boxing bag
-Was kept in a freezer for several hours
-Had eye lids burned with hot wax and lighters
-Had breasts pierced with sewing needles
-Had her vagina and clitoris burnt with cigarettes and lighters
-Had hot, lit on bulb inserted into her vagina and rubbed until it exploded inside
While she was only one quarter through her ordeal, owing to ongoing beatings, Junko Furuta was unable to breathe through her nose due to accumulation of blood in her cavities. Her traumatized internal organs refused to accept food and water so when she tried to drink, she instantly vomited, which not only kept her more dehydrated, it also agitated the perpetrators who punished her with more beating for soiling the carpet.
At one point, when the attackers were resting after drinking, she tried to call the police but was caught and punished by having her feet set on fire with burning lighter fluid. Large bottle the perpetrators forced up her anus caused internal injuries and ugly bleeding.
Severe leg burns and badly bruised muscles left her unable to walk after 20 days of her ordeal. She wasn’t able to handle anything with her hands anymore because her bones were smashed with weights and her fingernails cracked. Since it was winter, she was also forced to sleep on a balcony, exposed to cold temperatures.
After 30 days, Junko Furuta was unable to urinate properly due to damage to internal organs and to vulva from insertion of foreign object and burns from cigarettes and lighters. Her hands and feet were damaged so badly, it took her over an hour to crawl downstairs to the bathroom. Her eardrums were also damaged and brain size was reduced.
During the course of 44 days when she was repeatedly tortured, beaten and raped, Junko Furuta begged her captors several times to just kill her and be done with it. They didn’t grant her that favor. Instead, on January 4, 1989, they challenged her to a game of Mahjong solitaire. She won and that pissed the boys off so they treated her to a beating with an iron barbell and fire by setting her legs, arms, face and stomach alight after pouring lighter fluid on them. Being already badly beaten, dehydrated and malnutritioned, Junko Furuta fell into a shock and died the following day.
The murderers stuffed the dead girl’s body in a 55-gallon drum filled with concrete and disposed of it in Koto, Tokyo.
The names of four main captors who kidnapped, tortured, raped and murdered Junko Furuta were withheld by the Japanese court because they were juveniles, however the journalists from the Shūkan Bunshun magazine dug them out and publish them stating that after what they did to Junko Furuta, they don’t deserve anyone to uphold their human rights:
Hiroshi Miyano – 18 year old at the time of the crime. Changed his name to Hiroshi Yokoyama
Jō Ogura – 18 year old at the time of the crime. Changed his name to Jō Kamisaku (神作譲)
Shinji Minato (– 16 year old at the time of the crime, some sources refer to him as Nobuharu Minato
Yasushi Watanabe – 17 year old at the time of the crime
All four perpetrators were caught and tried. However because they were all under-aged when the crime was committed, they were to be tried as juveniles, but eventually faced sentences of adults, except that the court withheld their identities. Still, given the severity of their crimes, the sentences they were handed out were rather low. By now, each of them is already out of jail. Three of the boys served less than 8 years, the leader was originally sentenced to 17 years in prison, but after his appeal, instead of lowering his sentence, judge Ryūji Yanase bumped his sentence to 20 years. The same judge also increased the sentenced for two more boys who appealed. One didn’t so his sentence stayed as was. Either way, they’re all in their late 30′s and all out of jail.
This, I feel, is the worst part. Do these vicious, brutal, barbarians not deserve the death trial? Being juveniles is no excuse for the unspeakable acts of horror they committed.
We can only hope something like this never happens again.
