Juusuf Muhamed Abbudin (10 MVLehti)
The Supreme Court in Finland upheld a ruling that said sex between a 23-year-old migrant and 10-year-old girl was not rape.
Juusuf Muhamed Abbudin was convicted of aggravated sexual abuse for the assault on the girl.
Voice of Europe reported:
Finland’s Supreme Court upheld the ruling, rejecting a request from the prosecution to appeal a three-year jail term for a 23-year-old asylum seeker who had sex with a 10-year-old saying it didn’t constitute rape.
The man is named as Juusuf Muhamed Abbudin and he was convicted of aggravated sexual abuse, which the prosecution had sought the harsher sentence of aggravated rape.
The incident took place in autumn of 2016 in the southern Pirkanmaa region near the city of Tampere. He had sexual intercourse with a girl, 10-years-old at the time, after having exchanged sexually charged messages with her.
The Prikanmaa District Court and the Appeal Court, in Turku charged the man with aggravated sexual abuse and a three-year prison sentence in 2017 saying the girl wasn’t forced into the act or overcome by fear.
