IOL: Rape group accepts money from sex offender

This is how nations collapse, when we allow rich criminals to atone for their crimes by buying their way out of jail.

A wealthy Cape Town businessman, Jan Rabe, 42, has been allowed to accept a plea bargain in which he makes donations of R30 000 to Rape Crisis and Cape Mental Health each.

Rabe is the worst kind of sexual offender possible. He was found guilty of producing and being in possession of over 861 images of children engaged in sexual activities.

For this he received only a 5 year sentence, suspended for a mere 5 years if he makes the payments amounting to R60 000, enters a rehab program and does some community service.

This is a complete mockery of our criminal justice system. They are a joke. A disgusting prank at the public’s expense.

This is how nations crumble into dust.
