Afghan refugee convicted of sexually assaulting 3-year-old girl claims his behavior..
Quote:A federal jury has convicted an Afghan refugee of sexually assaulting a 3-year-old girl who was housed at Quantico Marine Corps Base after the evacuation of refugees and others from Afghanistan. 24-year-old Mohammed Tariq was found guilty of abusive sexual contact by a jury during a trial held at the US District Court in Alexandria.
"According to court papers, Tariq tried to explain through interpreters that his conduct was acceptable in his culture. Efforts to have his statements suppressed were rejected by the judge," local news reports.
According to the US Department of Justice, Tariq was arrested last September at Camp Upshur in Quantico after marines observed him fondling the girl above her clothes on her private parts. Marines also said that the girl was not related to him.
Tariq, who was brought to Virginia to the US during the evacuation of Afghanistan, is scheduled for sentencing on April 26.
“People who come to our country seeking haven from tyranny and terrorism deserve to live here in safety,” US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Jessica Aber, whose office prosecuted the case, said in a statement Monday announcing the verdict.

Send him back to Afghanistan. In an inflatable rowboat. He better get to paddling now, and if he ends up on our soil we send him out again until he doesn't return. Let the sharks deal with him.

A bullet is cheaper than a rowboat

A culture that finds fondling 3 year olds acceptable? Maybe we can get Biden to move.

This kind of points out why materialism/moral relativism are bankrupt ideologies.
If morals are defined culturally then nothing at all is wrong with what that guy did.
Thankfully, morality is transcendent and objective.

This sickens me. We paid for him to come here, unvetted. Now he's going to be prosecuted and put in our jail system.

Strictly playing devils advocate here, but it is possible that people do things we don't, and in a totally non sexual way. I have absolutely no idea what the "optics" or intent were of what he was doing so I don't have much to go off of. I mean, he was touching her on the outside of her clothes in front of people watching him. Conceivable that it is just one of those things people do some places. "Fondling" above the cloths could probably be a lot like tickling, without knowing more than the article said.
Travelling, I saw (multiple times) little kids blowing into their dad (or grandpas) stomach not far above the waistline, to make a farting sound. Once they we're just in a park and the dad was laying on his back and the kid pulled dads shirt up and was doing that. They were all laughing and having a good time, mom, grandma etc. I thought to myself, good lord, if you did that in public in the US you'd probably be talking to CPS or someone. It was pretty creepy looking, at least to me, but not everywhere is as sexualized as the US, and a lot of afghan people are very simple and humble people with no education and absolutely no concept of life outside their province.
I know nothing more than what I read in th above article, but it is conceivable that someone from a simple society doesn't have any concepts that we do about how things look. I'd imagine, some people here would be terrified to do some things that families used to do innocently. Like people who almost lose their kids over posting a silly bath time photo that some pervert flags as possible abuse. People here have become hyper conscious of so many little things now. Sad sometimes.
Just sayin'

He's not lying. In Afghanistan, the molestation of children is common and largely part of their culture. Hence why we should be carefully scrutinizing who we let into this country. There are awful stories from US soldiers deployed to Afghanistan of having to hear kids being sexually abused, the soldiers wanting to intervene, but being ordered to stand down because the molesters we're US allies.

Yeah, but then we don't have to actually execute him. As a nation, we gave him a chance to live. It's up to him to survive at that point.

When illegal aliens over-ran Europe a few years back, horror stories started coming out about sexual assaults sky rocketing and the one thing they had in common (even though their politically correct governments tried to suppress this info) was that the worst of the worst were all Afghans.
Our resident houseplant then tells the military during the disastrous Afghanistan evacuation/withdrawl just make sure the planes are full (doesn't matter that they aren't Americans). So, here we are with a bunch of goat humpers and other perverts with their child brides allowed to come in totally unvetted. Interesting we haven't heard much about the child brides - yet.

Doesn't matter. He is in The USA now. You want what the US offers then you gotta learn to play by the rule. In Afghanistan females, especially female children are property. It is custom to kill young girls there also.
