This is nuts! What on earth is the girl being fined for?
$17-year-old Danish girl faces a $72 fine for using pepper spray to fend off a rapist.
The thug who forced her to the ground and attempted to undress her has not been found.
The incident took place in the center of the small town of Sonderborg in southern Denmark at about 10 p.m. local time Wednesday. She told police that an English-speaking man knocked her to the ground, tried to unbutton her pants and undress her. However, she was apparently able to protect herself as she pulled out pepper spray and used it against the man, who escaped the scene and hasn’t been charged.
In the meantime, RT contacted local police spokesperson Helle Lundberg who said that officers had found neither “the attacker, nor any witnesses.”
“We do not know who he is, and we do not know if he might be an asylum seeker. The girl has described him as English-speaking. That is all we know,” the spokesperson added.
Sonderborg, along with other Danish cities, recently appeared in the news in connection with sexual assaults against women by migrants.
“We must say that a large number of the male guests who come from the local asylum center have a very hard time respecting the opposite sex. In my eyes, it is harassment when one or more men continue to touch a young woman after she has said ‘stop,’” Glenn Hollender, from the Sonderborg club Den Flyvende Hollænder, told TV Syd earlier in January.
Sexual harassment of women by refugees and migrants in Europe is the main issue that has been making headlines since the New Year.
The first city to report about mass sexual harassment was Cologne, Germany. According to witnesses, “heavily intoxicated” men of “Arab or North African” origin were harassing and assaulting local women in the city center on New Year’s Eve.
Similar cases have been reported in other German cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Stuttgart. Police were also accused of covering up migrant attacks in Sweden, after groups of young Afghan men reportedly molested girls at a teen music festival.
