An Egyptian man accused of raping a 20-month-old girl will soon face trial over the charges, according to local media. Prosecutors say the defendant has confessed to the crime.
The man was arrested on Friday after allegedly kidnapping the baby girl on the same day as she played in front of her house in Belqas village, located in the Nile Delta governorate of Daqahliya, Ahram Online
reported.
The 35-year-old then took her to a secluded area and raped her, according to investigations conducted by the prosecution. He later fled the scene, leaving her in a pool of her own blood, according to Egypt's
Youm7 newspaper.
The toddler was later found by residents and taken to a nearby hospital where she received emergency surgery for vaginal bleeding. She suffered heavy blood loss, Al Arabiya
reported, citing local media.
She was later released from hospital.
The Egyptian prosecution referred the man for trial on Monday evening, according to Ahram Online. However, Al Arabiya said the prosecution has merely ordered a four-day detention for the man, pending further investigation.
The man has reportedly confessed to the crime, according to the prosecution.
Comment: While the intent of such laws mandating equality may have been noble at the time they were enacted in order to overcome inherent racism existing in the United States, such laws can be seen to be hurting all students involved with the budget cuts and act to divide people (ie social justice activists views on the left and limiting government interference views on the right) as they react to reduced budgets because there are "too many white students."
