Man Who Claimed He 'Fell' and Penetrated Teen Is Cleared of Rape Charges

Remember the English guy from last week who deflected rape charges by saying he had probably fallen inside his 18-year-old victim? Turns out he was recently acquitted! So, I was wrong, courts will actually believe anything that comes from the mouth of a rich middle-aged man.

Developer and millionaire Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, reportedly took two women, aged 18 and 24, home with him after a night at a club. The 18-year-old reported that early in the morning, she woke up to Abdulaziz forcing himself on top of her. Abdulaziz, however, explained to very understanding authorities that he had gone to check if the girl had wanted a t-shirt to sleep in or a taxi home, when she pulled him on top of her. His penis must have been poking out of his underwear, which led to accidental penetration.

His semen and DNA were found inside the victim, which he said was probably because he had gotten it on his hands after having sex with the 24-year-old. Which means he somehow fell penis and hand first into a woman.

During the trial, Judge Martin Griffiths reportedly allowed the defense to present 20 minutes of evidence in private. The jury acquitted Abdulaziz after a half an hour of deliberations.

“I’m fragile,” Abdulaziz said. “I fell down but nothing ever happened between me and this girl, nothing ever happened.”

We apologize for the earlier article—it turns out Abdulaziz is fragile and women are holes.

I like how you led with the gif.

This can't possibly be all there is to his acquittal. Please?

[underwaterrhymes]

How the fuck was this guy acquitted?

[karinothing]

There has to be more to this story. I Just....I can't believe this

[josieposy]

Wut???

[jojoandleo]

No.

[aurora]

Well, and even if we could possibly believe that he fell down and his penis just happened to slip inside her, that is still rape. He penetrated her without her consent.

If you accidentally hit someone with your car, you are still at fault. Sure, you won't be in as much trouble as if you purposefully ran them off the road, but claiming accident doesn't eliminate the damage to the victim.

[lauralala]

WTF. There has to be more to this. I refuse to believe this is the whole story.

[omgzombies]

Did they also fall down a set of stairs? I'm so confused.

this cannot be real, can it? I am seriously sitting here with my head exploding. This is fucking shameful. WTAF.

A millionaire and he spent 20 minutes privately with the judge to present evidence sounds like a payoff to me. What a bunch of fucking bullshit.

I had a girlfriend in high school who claimed her boyfriend accidentally fell inside her. They were very Morman, though, so, you know, they definitely weren't having sex.

The one area that the UK seems to have problems with in the courts is around this issue - rape. There are a ton of older judges who pretty much thing that most of the time women deserve the rape. It makes me despair. And rage.

I know.  I cry at this reaction to what is clearly rape.  And then I read FB posts underneath posts about it and rage at the males who say, "Well, she shouldn't have gone to his house." As if she's responsible for being raped.  And then I react and get called a Feminazi.

I saw this on Facebook. First, the article is horribly written and really gives no answers to what occurred at trial. The only thing that makes sense is the not guilty verdict was due to legal argument or they were successful in suppressing evidence not because they actually believed him.

Eta: I didn't realize this was in the UK. I know nothing of their system.

Yes, that is fucking weird especially since the DA or jury were not present.
