Last week there were some appalling news stories about Afghan boys and men raping teenage girls. Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal, both 17-year-old asylum seekers, were charged with abducting and raping a 15-year-old girl in Leamington Spa. Statements from the victim and her mother, respectively, said “The day I was raped changed me as a person” and “We have watched our vibrant happy and confident [daughter] shrink down and suffer with anxiety so bad that she’s often physically sick”.
