Les parent de la victime ont pris l'initiative de contacter le médecin qui a approuvé qu'il y a eu viol, ce dernier a à cet effet délivré une attestation médicale pouvant servir de preuve à la justice.
Malheureusement, l'action en justice n'a pas aboutit, le violeur au lieu d'être condamné par le tribunal, il a été tout simplement relaxé.

Les femmes ne cessent de crier tout haut, "A QUAND LA FIN DE L'IMPUNITE DES VIOLEURS ? "
Les femmes demandent à la justice de faire son travail, car, le Viol constitue une destruction de la génitrice, mais aussi un crime contre l'humanité.
Pourquoi doit on protéger tous ces criminels ? Ils doivent répondre de leurs actes.
