Man raped in Belfast city centre
A 21-year-old man has been raped in Belfast city centre.
The attack happened in the Library Street area some time between 0300 and 0400 GMT on Monday but details have only just been released.
A police spokesman said the victim was "extremely shocked" by the ordeal and was speaking to specially trained officers.
Detectives want to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have information about the assault.
and other grim news from the BBC...
A 16-year-old child rapist allowed to walk free by a judge, only to abuse a five-year-old boy just days later, is detained
A teenager who kidnapped and raped a five-year-old boy, eight days after avoiding custody for another rape, has been detained for at least three years.
The 16-year-old admitted offences against the second boy including rape and child abduction.
Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court heard the attack happened after he was given a community order for the rape of seven-year-old boy in Tameside.
The first sentence, by Judge Adrian Smith, provoked a legal challenge.
On Wednesday, the attacker, who cannot be named, was given an indeterminate sentence for protection of the public after committing a second attack.
He must serve a minimum of three years minus five days before being considered for parole.
But Judge Peter Lakin told him: "The offences you have committed are deeply disturbing and very serious.
Det Con Terry Farrell read out a statement from the victim's father
"You are a devious and manipulative young man with an unhealthy and completely unacceptable sexual interest in young boys.
"It is likely you will not be released for some very considerable period of time."
He added that it was "highly unusual" for a court to categorise a 16-year-old as a danger to the public but in this case it was merited.
"I have to say I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in reaching the conclusion that you are indeed a dangerous offender," the judge said.
The boy was sentenced to three years and four months, but will be eligible for parole earlier because of time spent in custody.
Judge Lakin also revoked the community rehabilitation order passed by Judge Adrian Smith and resentenced him for the earlier rape offences against the seven-year-old.
He was sentenced to three years and four months, to run concurrently, and placed on the Sex Offenders Register.
In sentencing for the first rape, Judge Smith is believed to have considered the victim's family, who forgave the youth because of their Christian beliefs.
The three-year community order led to an appeal by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), but was overtaken when, just days after appearing in court, he was arrested for the second rape.
Rape is rape and whether you are 16 or 60, it is one of the most horrific crimes anyone can commit
Det Con Terry Farrell
On 4 July 2009, the second victim, who is now six, was playing outside near his home when he was lured away to look for a lost football but was actually taken to the teenager's house and abused.
He was found emerging from the house while his parents searched the neighbourhood for him.
The teenager later admitted child abduction, rape, committing an offence with the intention of committing a sexual offence, attempted rape and causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
Speaking after the hearing, Det Con Terry Farrell, who led the investigation, said it was a "harrowing and disturbing" case.
"Rape is rape and whether you are 16 or 60, it is one of the most horrific crimes anyone can commit. For this to happen to a five-year-old boy is beyond comprehension."
He then went on to read a statement on behalf of the father of the victim.
He said: "This has been a traumatic ordeal for my whole family, and particularly for my six-year-old son who has had to go through what no-one, let alone a young innocent boy, should ever have to go through.
"It has been a harrowing time but I'm glad it is finally over and we can now draw a line under everything and move on with our lives."

Baby RB losses its silent life
Mother's view more important than father's in deciding if child should live or die
A mother's views outweigh the opinions of a father's when it comes to deciding whether a child with a rare disorder should be allowed to live or die, a senior children's doctor has said.
A Childs Right to Know Its Father
The government backtracks on ensuring that a child’s biological father is named on a child’s birth certificate, due to this event allowed to occur unchecked it is also the starting point for future court cases regarding the child.
The government must decide, is it in a child’s best interest for a child to know its father?
Or
Is it in a child’s best interest for its mum to be able to remove its father?

FAMILY LAW v HUMAN RIGHTS
In the UK a father and a child can have their right to family life violated in the family courts; this is not justifiable when human rights are enforced for murders, rapists .........

Focus on child abuse
Outside of the social engineering of society through the family law courts, other practices by the governemtn are also violating our human right to family life.
The drive to abolish childhood continues apace. The government is ordering “sex education” to be imposed on primary school children from as young as five. The premature sexualisation of children and the encouragement of prurient interest in sexual matters at a tender age has already provoked increasing numbers of underage pregnancies (which the hypocrites enforcing this degenerate agenda claim it is designed to reduce), but still the fanatics persist in destroying what little remains of childhood innocence in this decadent age.

The emerging fact of female perpetrators in all child abuse is only highlighting a practice that has gone unheard and unpunished for years.
The social taboo of females as abusers is finally being questioned and it is being questioned from the view of a child’s best interest. For too long the interest of a child came secondary to the interests of the female population.

Baby P the aftermath
Have social serviced learned their lesson, this is the only reasonable outcome from Baby P’s death, it is sickening that his is the second high profile death that was used to bring change to a social welfare system that does not work..
A child dies at a rate of 1 or two a week due to the failures of social services, baby P’s case while horrifying is by no means a one off in the UK or the developed world.
Family court decisions to go online in pilot scheme
Decisions made by family courts over care proceedings and disputes over domestic arrangements are to be published online in a new pilot scheme.
The move is part of a drive by the Ministry of Justice to open the family courts to wider public scrutiny.
Under the pilot scheme, which started yesterday, decisions of magistrates courts in Leeds and of magistrates and county courts in Cardiff will be anonymised then published online on the website of Bailii, the British and Irish Legal Information Institute.
The scheme will extend in January to cover courts in Wolverhampton.
A Justice Ministry spokesman said: "The pilots are part of a drive to help the public and the media find out how family courts work and how decisions are reached.
"The online judgments will be anonymous to protect the identities of the families involved, and the families themselves will receive a copy of the judgment.
"During the pilots, we will consider retaining copies of judgments for children involved in the case to read when they are older.
"This information will be invaluable for people involved in family proceedings and the general public, and help them understand how decisions are reached in complex and sometimes traumatic cases."
Justice Minister Bridget Prentice said: "Family courts are faced with some of the most difficult decisions to be made in the justice system, and the decisions that they make need to be transparent so that the public who use the courts have confidence in them.
"The courts already provide an excellent service and I believe that allowing the public to access a written copy of a judgment in a family case will help them understand how a decision was reached.
"It is important that people understand and feel connected to the justice system and this pilot will assess whether online judgments are a good way of achieving this aim.
"We will continue to protect and safeguard the identities of children and families by anonymising these written judgments."
The pilot scheme, which is expected to run for a year, will be evaluated before a decision is made on whether it should be rolled out nationwide.
The move follows changes which came into effect in April opening the family courts to a right of media attendance, although the strict reporting restrictions remain in place.
The Ministry of Justice said a Bill being put forward by the Department for Children, Schools and Families would put a new statutory framework in place to enable the media to report the substance of family proceedings but without identifying the families and children involved.
Judgments to be published on the Bailii website under the pilot scheme will be uploaded only after they have been approved in anonymous form by the courts which make them.
Cases to be covered will include interim or final care or supervision orders made in magistrates' courts, county courts or the High Court, when at least one of the following issues is also involved:
* Either parent is given leave permanently to remove a child from the UK
* The final order prohibits direct contact between a child and either or both parents
* A final order is made in a Children Act public law case, including where contact with one or both parents continues
* The final order has depended on contested issues of religion, culture or ethnicity
* The court has had to decide between medical or other expert witnesses when there were significant differences of opinion
* The court has had to decide significant human rights issues
* The Interim Care/Supervision Order was contested
Other types of cases for which publication of a judgment will be encouraged include:
* Contested cases where the facts, outcomes or solutions of the case would, in the discretion of the judge, be worthy of reporting publicly, such as contested residence or disputed contact issues where the outcome is unusual
* Contested adoption applications, applications to make and revoke placement orders; cases involving dispensation with consent and contact
* Emergency Protection Orders

Bill Of Rights N.Ireland

RFFJ N.Ireland will be considering the Bill of Rights in terms of a child's and fathers right to family life and if needed the right to a fair trial in family courts.
This opportunity to give fathers and children a voice in law will have huge implications domestically if we succeeded to have the right to family life fully recognised domestically.
