while holdng the exalted position of a supreme court (SC) judge. Mahinda
gave protection to Abrew in these crimes , and Abrew as a reciprocal
gesture gave unfair judgments in favor of Mahinda. One such recent
judgment was that given in favor of Gotabaya Rajapakse who faced
criminal charges, that the latter shall not be arrested.
By now , a number of rapes committed by Sarath Abrew during the
Rajapakse era have come to light , and Lanka e news inside information
division is in possesion of details supported by copious , concrete and
cogent evidence .Some young women unable to face the world and bear
the injustice has gone so far as to consume poison. Though these crimes
ought to be investigated and such scoundrels of judges duly punished, so
far Abrew has been protected .
The foregoing exposures (evidence available) are just three of the many
sexual assaults committed on young women by this sex starved rapist
Abrew.
Can such a sadistic rapist be allowed to go on making young girls his rape
victims without let or hindrance , and with impunity even if he is enjoying
the patronage and influence of Mahinda Rajapakse ? How could Mt.Lavinia
magistrate Shahabdeen release on personal bail sans any condition such a
notorious rapist ?
Interestingly in England ,a culprit found guilty of sexual assault committed
on a girl 30 years ago when she was in that country was taken up by the
courts of England recently to mete out justice on behalf of the victim.
Finally , the rapist a monk Pahalagama Somarathne of Croyden temple ,
London was sentenced to 8 yers in jail , underlining how cruel, grave and
heinous are rapes considered in law . This victim a Sri Lankan told court
that she waited for 30 long years until her father passed away , as she did
not wish her father to suffer mental agony by instituting legal action while
he was living. This case and judgment delivered illustrate that effluxion of
time is irrelevant in rape crimes , and civilised societies do not hesitate to
mete out punishment to rapists regardless of the time taken to institute
action.
In the circumstances , the police and courts of SrI Lanka irespective of the
influence used (political and otherwise) by the culprit and without paying
heed to his own status are duty bound in a civilised society to take action
against Supreme court judge Sarath Abrew vis a vis the cogent and glaring
evidence corroborating the so many crimes committed by him , no matter
the pressures exerted by erstwhile Rajapakse regime notorious for
protecting rapists including Abrew , murderers , frauds and crooks.
As a news media that always espouses the cause of justice and truth ,
acting on behalf of the oppressed, downtrodden and victimised people , we
hope at least now appropriate steps will be taken to punish this serial sex
starved rapist who thrived criminally under the Rajapakses, despite being a
judge of the SC who should have therefore on the contrary shown much
greater respect to his lofty profession and the laws of the country.
