I found a piece by Mario Cabral e Sa on rapes cases in Goa. In a report for Blitz issue July 9, 1983, under heading RAPES RAVAGE GOA, he mentions the "incredible but true story" of a 20 years pregnant girl found dead in an open field in Keri, a village in Satari.
He says, Unusual for Goa, but the bitter truth is that recently there has been a rash of rapes in this territory. Between January and June, there were several occurences of sexual assault on women.. One case of a harmonian teach from Bicholim who was accused of molesting his 12-year old pupil, a niece, and the other a photographer, also of same area, who tried to obtain sexual favours from one of his models. At Colva, a 16-year old Catholic girl was seduced by a fisherman, aged 34. She became pregnant. A 17-year old girl alleged raped by an army jawan on Miramar beach. After a wedding, she went to the beach with a male friend and then the jawan intruded and took her by force. Can anyone tell us how many rapes, alleged as well as proved, happened in the last two years? Eugene Correia __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
