Indonesian Supreme Court candidate says victims enjoy rape

1/16/2013

Still incredulous over Richard Mourdock's and Mike Huckabee's rape comments? Check out what Indonesian Supreme Court candidate Daming Sanusi recently let loose: "Consideration needs to be taken thoroughly for the imposition of [the] death penalty for a rapist because in a rape case both the rapist and the victim enjoy it." The judge was apparently joking when he uttered the vile words during a parliamentary hearing to figure out whether he was fit for the job. Cue outburst of "Rape is NOT a joke" tweets, calls for his candidacy to be withdrawn and threats we're too prim and proper to mention here. Sanusi has since apologized, blaming his bad judgment on stress. [Source]
