Kudos to the police for taking such a strong stand against the paying of compensation to settle criminal cases.

PNG Cyber Monitor opines that paying compensation to settle any crime should be rejected completely because it only serves to encourage crime.

It is also immoral because it is unfair to the victims, especially those who suffered sexual abuse, who have to live with the nightmare for the rest of her/his life.

Criminals will also become bolder because they will assume that they can get off scot-free with monetary pay-offs.

The details of the case was reported by The National reproduced below:

POLICE in Madang have refused to accept a request from a man to pay compensation to a girl who he allegedly attempted to rape inside his home.
Madang police commander Supt Mazuc Rubiang said Abraham Yama, 29, of Snowpass, Usino-Bundi in Madang, was arrested and charged with one count of attempted rape and one count of deprivation of liberty yesterday.
He said Yama allegedly after getting drunk saw the girl who was on her way to the market, and gave her K10 to buy him cigarette.
When the girl brought back the cigarette, she saw two men standing at the house and told them to take the cigarette.
But they told her to take it to him herself. Supt Rubiang said when the girl took the cigarette to Yama, he allegedly dragged her into his room, locked the door and tried to rape her.
He said the girl struggled to escape but couldn’t so she farted, leading Yama to think that she had excreted waste.
“He was not happy and told the girl to sleep,” Supt Rubiang said.
“He went out to fetch water and come back to wash the girl, (telling her) that after washing her, he will rape her.” But while he was out, the girl escaped through the window.
The matter was reported to police who arrested Yama on Tuesday.
Police detained him in the cell at Jomba.
He was formally charged yesterday. The other man who told her to take the cigarette herself to Yama was also arrested and charged.
Supt Rubiang said mediation in such cases would stop and thanked his officers for arresting and charging Yama.
