East-Finland’s court of appeals confirmed 19.2.2019 the sentence given 27.6.2018 by municipal court of Northern-Karelia.
IIsmael Kaba walks free on a parole after rape and aggravated sexual child molestation.
Time of the deed 14.6.2017. 1998 born Kaba acquainted with 14 year old girl. Kaba was 18 at the time, soon 19 years old. Young ones acquainted thru social media and met in town centre. This wasn’t dating, young ones were just hanging out. Kaba asked the girl to come along to his appartment and she agreed. She shouldn’t have done that, because Kaba had a bulge in his pants. He had to get some booty.
At his apartment Kaba pulled the girl on his lap and started kissing her by force. Girl didn’t warm up with this behavior. Kaba threw girl on the sofa and sat on top of her. At that time small violence was used too. Girl got bleeding cut on her lip after rough treatment. Eventually Kaba managed to pull off girls pants and forced his fingers to girl’s private parts. Girl was afraid, she didn’t know what Kaba was about to do. Girl said several times that she didn’t want this and she tried to fight against him as best she dared. What is descriptive to this African’s behavior is that girl got out of the apartment finally, accompanied by this racial stranger. Next day he tried to contact the girl through socia lmedia, but she blocked him in every social media platform.
Coarse way of this deed, girl was totally unexperienced sexually at that time and the violence that was used, both degrees of courts decided just to give a notice to Kaba with two years on parole. Court’s judgement says that the deed wasn’t coarse enough because the victim wasn’t drunk. Kaba didn’t use and wasn’t under any substance neither. More reasons for lean sentence was that Kaba is one the “alone coming children”. He studies and haven’t to do with the police before. Court sees that Kaba tries to live blameless life. Jailing would have been harmful to him.
– Long prison sentence would be very harmful to his social survival, and essential for securing his crimeless way of life, court’s statement says.
– Municipal court sees, that severity of this case, court is forced to give conditional sentence. So the court saw that unconditional incarceration is more harmful than Kaba’s raping of a child. In 2 years sentence Kaba would have only done 8 months as a first time offender.
Notable thing is that Kaba has two dates of birth. They separate only by few weeks. He would have been 19 or 18 years old on the time of the deed. This doesn’t matter in court’s ruling, it’s just a curiosity.
