Ruth Bircham and Olufemi Ali |
The case of a Jamaican
born British erotic artist, Ruth Bircham, who was raped by a Nigerian, Mr.
Olufemi Ali, in London has taken a new dimension as the London Metropolitan
Police discharges the offender without charging him to court, even after the
culprit had in the process of investigation openly admitted to the police that
he committed the offence.
During a chat with Bulkybon Periscopes, the rape victim said that the police said that they did not charge
the rapist to court, because after the crime was committed, she had sent a whatsapp message to
ask the rapist why he did what he did to her.
According to Bircham,
The Councillor asked me why I contacted the rapist after he had committed the crime. I told her that the rapist was my social media friend before he raped me. I was terribly shaken by his evil action and wanted to know why he did what he did to me.
“It is shocking to be raped by someone you least expected to harm you, that was why I called to ask why he took advantage of my ill health to rape me. Rape does not come with a manual to say this is what they will do and what they will not do to you. When the culprits come to you in any form as friends or complete strangers. And the Councilor agreed with my reasoning.
However, Bircham wonders
why the UK police victimize victims of rape by treating them like criminals
while treating rapists as saints.
She says she does not need to prove that she
is a victim of rape if the police had done their job well from the onset after
she reported the case. Instead, she has been victimized by the police, either
because she is not a white woman or the rapist had bought them over.
Reiterating how her case
has been badly treated by the police, she offers that,
I am not a solicitor. I am an artist who has been raped and treated unfairly by the police and the UK justice system.
My main focus is my art, family, friends and fans and nothing else. I don't give a shit about the UK and their lies, perjury, bullshit and racist fucking laws that incriminate or victimize black people that are victims of crimes.
All I know is that in between what I am doing with my art, I am letting the world know that what the UK police have done to me is wrong for not charging the rapist to court after he has admitted to committing the crime. It shows that the police have compromised.
This type of rubbish must never be allowed to happen to another victim with a repeat of the police and racist justice system, sweeping it under the carpet.
In a civilized society
as the UK claims to be, all rape and sexual assault cases should be tried in
the courts of England, in front of a judge and 12 juries.
It is not the duty
of police to discharge a serious crime of rape after it has been reported to
them. In truly honest and non-racial climes, all rape victims are usually
assigned with a solicitor, a counsellor and a forensic hospital doctor
that does not shy away from examining the victim’s cervix to collect evidence
to prove the crime.
Based on the information given by the lively erotic artist,
these were not done in her own rape case.
At no time at all should
ordinary inexperienced and biased police personnel be included in investigating
any rape case. Special detectives are the persons that ought to handle such
criminal cases of rape by collecting evidence from the victim, while a counsellor
is assigned to the victim and works alongside solicitors for the victim and
forensic doctors.
From the look of things,
Bircham’s rape case was tried and discharged by the suspiciously dubious London
Metropolitan police.
Instead of charging the rapist to court even after he had
admitted to committing the crime, according to information shared by the victim, he has been set free!
All rape cases should be tried in the law courts not at any police station. Victims
should be given every support by listening to them and made to feel that they are
being protected and not selectively intimidated and victimized based on their
racial diversity or skin complexion.
In this wise, the erotic
artist posits that “UK law system should give better treatment and protection
to rape victims irrespective of their ancestral background, instead of victimizing
them because they are not white.
A rapist must be treated as a rapist
until the court says otherwise. It is not the duty of police to determine
the fate of any criminal.”
Basic common sense was
enough to have made the London police know that all dangerous criminals like
rapists should be held in prison until the date of their cases with solicitors.
These are some of the conditions that the UK legal system should put in place
for rapists.
In Bircham’s very candid
view, she emphasizes that “I have been treated as if I am a criminal who had
committed a crime for reporting a rapist to the police.
My mistake was that I
reported that I was raped by Olufemi Ali on the 24th June 2017. Apart from
hanging on why I called the rapist to ask him his reason for raping me, as one
of the dubious reasons for setting him free, the police discharged my case by conspiratorially
using an inadmissible un-amended statement without the knowledge of my contact
witness who is my friend.
“My friend (witness) told
the police on phone that she felt that she had written something wrong in her
statement. The officer, Det LP, told her that she could amend any error in her
statement when she comes back from a trip she made outside the UK that period.
My friend left the UK on the 20th of July 2017. Yet, the discharge letter that
sets the rapist free was also written on the 20th of July 2017 and sent out to
me by PC CA after I received a call from PC CA. My friend’s right to correct the
error she made was denied her.
“She says that there is
something more to the hasty discharge of the case that meets the eye. I also strongly
reason along that line; otherwise, why did they discharge and acquit the rapist
without waiting for the amendment of the witness’s statement?
When my friend
came back to the UK, she wrote to Det LP asking her why she had used her un-amended
statement as one of the reasons to discharge the case. Afterwards, my friend
got a phone call from PC AW. He told my friend to withdraw her statement but she
insisted that she will not withdraw her statement because she knows her rights.
“But out of the blues,
the PC CA then told my friend that they never quoted any part of her un-amended
statement in the discharge letter. But my friend countered the PC CA by pointing
out his lies, by telling him that she had seen the discharged letter and has
read sections of her un-amended statement quoted in the discharge letter sent
out to her friend (me).
“By this time I had already
drawn the attention of my Councillor, MP, the Mayor of London and the high
police commissioner D, to the issue.
Suddenly, I received a letter from the DPS
saying that they had received a letter from me, when I did not write any letter
to the DPS or to the IPPC.
“The dubious letter
showed a chart of the PC AW implicating himself in the letter. But I had told
this policeman that I would write my own letter to the DPS when I was ready. He
criminally went ahead and wrote a letter without my knowledge to the IPPC and
implicated himself and DET LP by impersonating me through the fake letter he
wrote.
From the foregoing,
Bircham has released the can of worms of the London Metropolitan Police that
handled her rape case. This calls the integrity of the London Police to
question, as far as her rape case is concerned.
Pinpointing the criminality
of impersonation by the police, Bircham says “PC AW robbed me of my right to
write a letter to the IPPC by impersonating me. I suspect he committed that
criminal offence with the hope that they won't touch on the facts that he had
committed perjury on the discharge letter by using un-amended document to
discharge my case.”
The reason behind the
perjury and impersonation could clearly be attributed to the police grand plan
of denying the rape victim an opportunity to get her case reviewed as every
rape victim has the right for her case to be reviewed.
“The
police perjury is
further more horrible for depending on an un-amended witness statement
and the
digital media whereby I had written to Olufemi Ali (whose current name
on facebook is Alifem Alifem) asking him why he raped me, including
the text message with which I sent him my address before he raped me and also
the content of my facebook chat where I had accused him of being bad,
are
pointers to the conspiracy used by the police to discharge my case by
halting
it from receiving a hearing at a law court for trial.
It therefore
blocks
opportunity to put a dangerous rapist in prison and prevent him from
further
capitalizing on using the social media to hunt for other unsuspecting
victims
to rape. I believe some type of corruption took place between the police
and
the rapist. The police compromised.”
The highly celebrated
British erotic artist with large followership on social media also said the
police added insult to her injury because, “The PC CA insinuates that my
artworks and my profession was the cause for the rape that happened to me as he
said ‘men think with their dicks.’ (WTF! So, she should stop her art because of one asswipe that could not keep his filthy dick in control!)
It
is very essential that all rape victims should be assigned forensic doctors who
examine the cervix for proof of the crime, solicitors to defend their legal and
human rights and counsellors to help them overcome the effects of the trauma.
Unfortunately,
none of these aforementioned experts is assigned to victims of rape in the U.K,
which hypocritically prides itself as a kingdom of uprightness. Instead, rapists
are given free of charge solicitors, while the victims of rape are not given
such free legal service by the judicial system in the U.K.
To
make matters worse for victims of rape, it is very difficult or almost
impossible for them to get a solicitor to defend their right even when the
victims are ready to pay for legal services of solicitors.
One begins to wonder
why many solicitors reject the handling of the cases of rape victims in the
U.K. This attitude further frustrates victims of rape, and it seems the entire
society is against the victims while rapists are treated as kings of the land,
parading freely to rape more females. It is insane!
It is a shame that the
UK which promotes itself as a kingdom of morality could support a rapist to go
free to keep committing his crime on other unsuspecting females while the
victim is blamed for falling prey.
What hypocrites the UK and its police have
proven to be!
