I WAS shocked to read recently of a case where some young boys were allegedly sexually molested by an Imam who was allowed to go on bail. For some time now, I have been increasingly incensed by reports of molestation by Priests masquerading as holy men.
These are really cruel, evil-minded people who prey on unsuspecting young boys and girls and commit their heinous crimes.
Further, I would like to encourage parents and family members of children who have been allegedly molested, not to be lured into accepting money in exchange for dropping charges against suspects. In the matter of the four boys, the Imam should not be allowed to resume his job at the Masjid.
I wish to offer my congratulations to the police for the professional manner in which they conducted their probe into this matter. I would also like to advocate stiffer penalties for perpetrators of such acts.
