This guy/girl couldn't have said it better, let's look at the FACTS in this case, and not pretty stories fabricated by either sides..
"
2. Let us agree on the following facts.
a. Anand’s attorney does not deny the sexual contact he denies that it was done by force or without consent. According to the article.
b. In USA even if a female consents to sex any sexual activity with a minor under the age of 18 is statutory rape. Three of the victims were under 18 at the time of alleged incidence.
c. Anand has already been granted bail but the family has not posted it because they know that as soon as he gets out of California jail the Prosecutors in Texas and New York are going to pick him up.
d. Sanjana is upset with solitary confinement in small cage like cell. I agree with her if he is being treated inhumanely that is not right and we should seek help from human rights group, civil liberties organizations.
e. US prison is a very dangerous place for handsome young man who is charged with sexual crimes. They often become a recipient of the crimes they are charged with. So in that sense Sanjana should watch out before she asks for removal from solitary confinement.
3. I agree with you that you are innocent until proven otherwise. However, sexual abuse and rape are the crimes that are treated differently in India and USA. The reason is simple.. The victims are so terrified and ashamed that they have a tendency not to report the crime.
So as unjust as it sounds upon a complaint of rape you are arrested.
I am sure that the fact the petitioner was a young white female and the perpetrator was highly powerful, rich, man in late twenties of brown color might have played some role in the harsh nature of treatment he is receiving.
As you read the Dallas article author did details the experience on not one but three females. And there is quite a bit of similarities.
4. There is evidence that two of these girls did try to complain to Police in New York but they were turned down because there was no physical proof. So the argument that suddenly these girls came from no where now that Anand was financially more successful.
5. Sanjana was quoted by one of the victims as having thrown a fit when she found out that her little bro was messing with an underage girl. See the article.
6. Now does this mean Anand is guilty? Absolutely not. But my problem is with Sanjana and her mother is …where were you when this was going on? As a female your self how can you not see this happening? Or were you so helpless out of your dependence on your brother that you kept your mouth shut? None of these things can be proven in the court of law but in the court of common sense we all can make our own judgment.
7. As an Indian my tendency is always to see us as victims whenever such issue arises. However when I read the news I suddenly asked my self, “how the hell I did not see this coming.”
8. I have witnessed Anand walking around with an entourage of underage white models at several Indian functions. His arrogance and disregard for others was evident.
I think that is the reason why there is no large scale community support for Anand.
9. One more note. I am not sure if it would be safe for Sanjana to be in USA. If prosecutors can find some way of implicating her in the crime I am sure they will go for it. Then she will be confronted with a difficult choice of plea bargaining and give information against her beloved bro or put her self in danger. Because I am sure they will try to catch her as a material witness.
