Imam Investigated As Serial Pedophile
Scumbag…
Maldives- Ali Hassan, 66, Imam of Gnaviyani atoll Fuvahmulak, has been accused of molesting and raping a ten-year-old girl last Wednesday.
The gynaecologist at the island’s hospital, Dr Thajwar, told Minivan News there was conclusive evidence of rape and that the ten-year-old had been “sexually active.”
Police media co-ordinator Sergeant Shiyam confirmed that such a case was “under investigation,” but refrained from revealing any further information “due to the nature of the case.”
But local police said they were investigating other, similar allegations against the same suspect, who is currently out of the country.
Abdulla Ahmed, brother of the alleged victim, said that Ali Hassan had “groomed” the girl by giving her sweets and money before allegedly committing the crime.
Mazeena Jameel, Director General of the Child Protection Authority, said international research indicates paedophiles either “threaten” or “bribe by giving presents” to the child they plan to abuse, as part of a “strategy” to gain access.
Staff Sergeant Hassan Shifau, who heads Fuvahmulak police station, told Minivan News that further allegations of child abuse against Ali Hassan were being investigated by Fuvahmulak police.
But the investigations are hindered by the absence of Ali Hassan, who is out of the country for medical reasons, he added.
The family of the alleged victim also believe it was “not an isolated” incident. They accuse Ali Hassan of being a “serial molester.”
Aishath Mohamed, 47, claims that Ali Hassan also molested her daughter, now 16 years old, seven years ago.
However, Aishath said she had not gone to the authorities because the Imam was a “respected member of society”.
She felt that pressing charges would “hurt her daughter” due to the social stigma attached to such an incident.
The families of both of Hassan’s alleged victims question whether justice will be served.
In child abuse cases, there may no evidence of trauma on the victim’s body, argued Aishath Mohamed.
This means that – unlike in last week’s case – there would be no way to prove her child had indeed been molested, besides the child’s evidence.
In child abuse cases, medical reports, witness accounts and victim statements can be used as evidence, State Attorney Hussein Shameem said.
Shameem added that a draft bill on admissible and inadmissible evidence had been completed, and that this will clarify how expert opinion – such as a statement from a psychologist – can be used as evidence in courts of law.
Another case of accused child abuse is under investigation by Fuvahmulak police, but the accused man, Ahmed Shareef remains at large in the island while the investigation is ongoing.
This case comes after the Justice Ministry announced that sex offenders will face jail sentences rather than banishment under amendments brought to sentencing earlier this month.
This is the second case of alleged paedophilia from Gnaviyani Atoll Fuvahmulak this month.

I’m not sure Bash, but today might be the record for “most foul pics posted in a single day”.
Is this some celebratory thing having to do with the new home page layout?
February 25th, 2008 at 2:10 pmI’m suprised the girls were’nt stoned to death.
February 25th, 2008 at 2:15 pmI’d say he deserves some “alone time” with the Code Pink babe a couple topic threads down the page …
Hey, he’s just following in the footsteps of Mohammad …
February 25th, 2008 at 2:24 pmNaturally we all wonder what will happen to the girls (stoning probably being the recommendation but we can’t rule out hanging), however, I wonder what will become of the imam. Will they let him go with a fine? Will they cut off a hand…or other lower appendage? Will they whip him? Hard to say, especially since he is a “serial molester.”
February 25th, 2008 at 2:49 pmwell, mohammad banged a 9 year old, didn’t he?

And thats a fact. He loved them young.
His wife was 9 years old and he was 53 at the time i believe. her name was A’isha
February 25th, 2008 at 4:18 pmNever happened… there weren’t 4 male muslim witnesses. She just tempted him so he had to do it… wadn’t rape… he’s so sure that he left the country. Besides, he gave her sweets and money so that makes her a whore… dudn’t make him a pedophile.
February 25th, 2008 at 5:41 pmThat is really sick. I too am surprised the girls have not been harmed for coming forward. These “religious” people get all bent out of shape if they see a woman with any skin showing but they will abuse children sexually like that.
Bash, the pic reminds me of the idiots in “NAMBLA” everytime I see one like that. Same shit.
February 25th, 2008 at 5:50 pmSteve in NC, that’s exactly what I was thinkin’!
February 25th, 2008 at 6:58 pmCut his testicles off. Freaking pedophile. What depraved country did this happen in?
