Two Life Sentences for convicted child rapist, despite his claims of “dead penis”

A 67-year-old man was today handed two life sentences by a Judge after he was found guilty on two counts of rape of a 10-year-old.

He vehemently denied raping the child, shouting out in Court today that his “penis is dead”.

Abdool Jamil, who was found guilty of the offense three weeks ago, told the Court today that it was not possible for him to commit the act since his “penis is dead” and he never entertained the thought of being with a child.

The acts were committed on May 30 and June 2, 2018.

Reports indicate that Jamil persuaded the young girl to stay with him during those days while her parents were away. It was on those two occasions that the man used the opportunity to commit the gruesome act.

During the Court hearing, the State Prosecutor asked the Judge to take into consideration the fact that Jamil used his position of trust to commit the act, and the fact that he showed no remorse despite being found guilty.

The victim, in a statement which was read to the Court, stated that her life has never been the same since the incidents. She added that her performance at school has been negatively affected with her grades dipping.

While acknowledging that Jamil was initially nice to her, the 10-year-old urged that he be punished for the crime.

The Judge in response stated that Jamil will serve two life sentences based on the fact that he showed no remorse even after he was found guilty, and the fact that his actions towards the victim will leave scars for a lifetime.
