Australian charged over genital mutilation of baby
28 Jan 2014

An Australian man appeared in court Tuesday charged over the genital mutilation of his nine-month-old daughter in Indonesia, where police allege she was circumcised.

The child was taken to Jakarta for the procedure between February and March of 2012, according to documents tendered Tuesday in Sydney's Manly Local Court.

The incident didn't come to light until six months later, when the infant's mother took her to the doctor, the court was told.

She allegedly had her clitoral tissue removed and underwent a labial fusion, according to police documents in the case.

Her father, who has not been named for legal reasons, was arrested in December and charged with aiding, abetting or procuring female genital mutilation.

He is on bail and will return to court in March. It is only the second case of female genital mutilation to be brought before the courts in New South Wales.

Australian authorities say the practice, while often conducted in secret, is more common than the number of reports and prosecutions would suggest.

While no official data is available to measure the extent of the practice in Indonesia, it is common in the country of 240 million people, according to aid agencies.

Indonesia banned female circumcision in 2006 but backtracked in 2010, arguing that many parents were still having their daughters circumcised by unskilled traditional doctors who often botched the procedure.

Religious leaders and adherents say they are following the practices of Prophet Mohammed in having women circumcised so they are "clean".

According to the World Health Organisation about 140 million women and girls worldwide are living with the consequences of female genital mutilation, which is most common in parts of Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The procedure was banned by the United Nations in December 2012.

Australian my ass. He's some Muslim cocksucker who snuck into Australia from some Muslim hellhole and managed to get a passport.

[kingwilly]

I saw this article, very sad.

[Necron99]

A shame the penalty doesn't include castration.

[Davis Knowlton]

For the real Aussies out in TD land: Why can't this fucker be named, or his monkey face shown? Is it because he's a "protected minority"? WTF?

Child has been abused and naming him would also identify the child who may suffer in the future.....that's the thought process anyway.
Pro's an con's.

Q. "Why can't this fucker be named,"
A. Naming (him) the father...would also identify the child...possibly

Indonesia banned female circumcision in 2006 but backtracked in 2010,

because they are backward un-educated fukkin animals.

[barbaro]

it's ridiculous that they call this muslim "Australian."

[grumbles1]

Shouldn't even refer to the prick as human!!

[Lantern]

^^ 100%

I'm with you there Grunbles.

[reddog]

hope to see a long gaol time fore this 17th century scumbag, but will see it will be
only a month or two, pisses me off when these third world scum think it is all right
to carry on with anti women vendetta when they migrate to a first world country.
there must be hundreds of similar cases but i have only heard of 2 cases that went
to court, maybe be wrong on numbers,but would not be far out.
my personal take is no migration from these mostly muslem back waters.

[Pound Hound]

how can there be so many people lately who need to be kicked repeatedly in the eye?

fucking people.... I guess I am getting grumpy in my old age...

I know the photo is pixelated, but it does look like a white guy to me...maybe an Aussie convert?

The converts are always the worst for buying in to the more extreme ideologies of their newly discovered faith.

Can't be much of a cocksucker when he's got at least one child. Female mutilation is always done by females, and supervised by female relatives. I reckon the guy is putting his head on the line for his wife. Once again, female mutilation has nothing to do with Islam, it predates Abrahamic religions. It's a cultural, and female thing. What's a Muslim tradition is shaving the armpits and pubic hair, arrived in the West only 20 years ago.

[cyrille]

it's ridiculous that they call this muslim "Australian."

How is he less australian if he's a muslim than if he has ginger hair and his surname is 'mctaggart'?

[ChiangMai noon]

Why can't this fucker be named, or his monkey face shown? Is it because he's a "protected minority"? WTF?

because it would identify the child i'd imagine

FM is a bizarre ritualization of a stone age cult practice.

It doesn't unfortunately, a bit like those two British/English guys who cut the head off of Drummer Lee the other month.

Is Australia tough on sentencing? They don't seem to take a whole lot of shit from what I can see. If convicted, is he likely to get a tough sentence or will he be given sensitivity training and community service?
