The guy we're speaking of feels guilty because he feels the deportation is a second punishment, after the guy had already served time. We Americans can relate to that with how we feel about double jeopardy.
And I don't think I'm being particularly self righteous. I do think you guys are being assholes about this and making it a big joke. Which happens far too often when men are victims of sexual assault. And you didn't answer my question.

You're right. Forgiveness is a personal thing that can only be given by the victim in this case. And it's never a joke when
anyone is raped, male or female. I get that. What I'm having a hard time with is why the victim is so much more concerned about the rapist being deported back to Somalia as 'added punishment'. Of course it's more punishment! Or rather,
consequences, for his own actions. Don't be a scumbag rapist or we'll have to decline your request for asylum. Simple as that. Sexual predators
always re-offend and rape is a devastating crime. No one in their right mind should be more concerned with the future prospects of a rapist being given asylum when there are decent law-abiding asylum-seekers waiting in line that wouldn't go around victimizing people in their host countries.
Yeah let's just forgive him and let him stay so he can rape someone else because his life has been so hard, it's not his fault he's the way he is... etc etc...Only next time he'll murder his victims after raping them to avoid being sent to prison again. He absolutely deserved to fuck off back to Somalia. He screwed up his life all by himself because he's an evil fuck. Good riddance. I don't feel sorry for violent criminals, especially rapists and pedophiles.
I feel badly for the victim in this case and really hope he's getting the best psychological support available. It was really brave of him to speak out. Most of the time men won't even report being raped so they won't get the help they need.
