At around 6 p.m., he allegedly took her to a wooded area in the Kortrijk area of West Flanders, Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>The boy is reported to have raped the girl in the presence of other boys. Then, at least four of the others allegedly raped the girl, with additional boys engaging in different types of assault and filming the crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Images of the attacks were posted on social media, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>The assailants were all no more than 16 years old \u2014 with an 11 year old, the youngest, allegedly serving as a lookout, authorities reported.<\/p>\n<p>Initially 10 boys, including the 11-year-old, were arrested; later reports indicated the number of assailants numbered up to 12.<\/p>\n<p>The news publication <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nieuwsblad.be\/cnt\/dmf20240508_96180261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nieuwsblad<\/a> described the boyfriend as a type of individual known to romance young girls for purposes of human trafficking.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Should these alleged offenders be tried as adults?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Under what local media described as his powerful influence on her, the victim reportedly returned to the site of the first incident, resulting in more abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Because the attackers are minors, under Belgian law they cannot be publicly identified.<\/p>\n<p>Full criminal responsibility comes into play at age 18; however, due to the seriousness of the case, a 16-year-old involved in it may be tried as an adult.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s believed shame and embarrassment prevented the victim from reporting the crimes earlier, according to professor of forensic psychology Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Declercq.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s another dimension to the criminal acts \u2014 all of the alleged perpetrators are of Somalian or North African descent.<\/p>\n<p>Uh oh.<\/p>\n<p>I can hear it now \u2014 the cry of \u201cRACISM!\u201d wailing from across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>Spare me.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not about the race or descent of the criminals involved.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about Western countries \u2014 embedded in a tradition of Christian decency \u2014 who have allowed people of widely diverging cultures to immigrate without the expectation of them assimilating and honoring the values of the host country.<\/p>\n<p>True, the attackers on the 14-year-old girl in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-un-experts-say-belgium-needs-to-apologize-for-colonialism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Belgium<\/a> could have been of any ethnicity or descent. I\u2019ve been in parts of rural America where a group or two of seedy-looking, young, white men have given me pause.<\/p>\n<p>But the incursion of individuals of radically different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/singer-islamist-rape-gangs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cultures, morays,<\/a> and worldviews who have no desire to assimilate or respect countries to which they immigrate represents invitations toward tribalism and ethnic corruption.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, 50 percent of rapes in Germany are perpetrated by foreigners, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/rairfoundation.com\/statistical-shock-foreigners-account-for-50-of-gang-rapes-in-germany-defying-population-ratio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RAIR Foundation.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That coincides with the incursion of more than a million male migrants to Germany from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East from 2015 to 2023, RAIR said.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is aggravated by censorship of nationalities of sexual assault criminals.

After watching the measured Islamic destruction of Western civilization there, he changed his mind, and he returned to the U.S. singing the praises of our nation and culture so much that he sounded like a right-winger.<\/p>\n<p>The heart is wicked, desperately so.
