Judge allowed rapist to flee

Even when the police got a rape case to court, the (female) judge granted the man bail, even though he had previously fled the country. Needless to say, he fled the country again and has finally now been convicted in absentia which is merely a symbolic victory unless he can ever be extradited.

And yet women are locked up for much less, and not given the help they need. Furious
