To Louis:
It is entirely believable she was
raped, she is not the only claim, both for private contractors and military personnel.

All of the executives responsible for this policy should be charged as accessories to rape.

Research this story further. This is currently ONLY hearsay. Yes, there is an allegation. However, there is also no credible evidence. This is just another sensational story that the media couldn’t wait to exploit for their own selfish purposes and agenda. If this is credible, then the alleged rapists should be punished to the full extent of our laws. If it is a fabricated claim then the claimant should be punished as well. Pray for the truth to come out, and that justice is done. Put the politics and sensationalism aside.
