Excerpt:
No one knows the real name of the Port Hills Groper, the Muslim refugee who stalked and attacked over a dozen women jogging in Port Hills, even though he was arrested, tried and sentenced. Instead the New Zealand court gave him "permanent name suppression" to protect his status in his Muslim community.
Judge Jane Farish, who had told a Maori rapist who had lured an Australian tourist into a dark street and beat her while trying to tear off her clothing "If I had my way I would release you today," let the groper off with community service because his actions were caused by "cultural ambiguities."
The Muslim groper had blamed his serial assaults on "a misunderstanding of cultural differences" claiming that he had just been trying to be friendly. In his Middle Eastern Muslim culture, friendliness apparently consisted of forcibly groping female joggers while telling them "Happy New Year."
