I just don't know what to say...

So yesterday I read an article about an Indian 20something living in the UK.  He is the son of a successful businessman, and has been over here helping run the business.  And one evening he went out to the movies or somewhere with three Swedish girls that he was friends with.  They enjoyed the movie and went back to his hotel room and ordered room service and had dinner.  All very innocent I’d point out, and after a few drinks, the girls fell asleep in his room – two on the bed and one on the couch.

Now here’s where it gets interesting…

In court his lawyer described him as a geeky guy, unaccustomed to western ways, and that – quite accurately – such a situation is unheard of in India (3 girls sleeping in a guy’s room).

However, now we’ve all been in different cultures, unsure of what to do in certain situations, but hands up anyone who’s thought that rape is the appropriate solution?!

In the middle of the night he got himself naked, took off one of the girls’ skirts and her underwear and jumped on top of her.  She didn’t wake up, but one of her friends did.

But of course it gets better… what would you suppose the British courts would deem a fitting punishment for this sexual assault?!

…An apology.

I just had to laugh with disbelief when I read it.  Un-frikin-believable.
