One thought that "rapeitis" only affected certain sections of the male populace; but it has now been revealed that the affliction has spread it's tentacles to the nation's so called "holy men" and priests too.........
Top ranking Kerala Police officials on Thursday morning announced that they had booked cases of rape and wrongful confinement against an ordained Catholic priest as the heinous fact of his having continually raped a minor girl belonging to the same community was established or then proved beyond all reasonable doubt........
Ernakulam rural police bigwigs re-confirmed the inalienable fact that Father Edwin Figarez a 41 year old prominent member of the Kottapuram Catholic diocese had gone underground and was untraceable ever since a case was registered against him on the basis of the complaint registered by the victim's mother at a city police station late on Tuesday night........
According to the complaint filed by the victim's mother; the said priest had been continually forcing himself upon the girl since the onset of January 2015 and the last recorded instance of rape occurred as recently as April 5;2015 after which the girl confided the gory details about the dastardly ordeal in the mother and this pitiful lament led to the filing of the complaint against the now absconding priest.........
According to church sources Figarez is more than actively involved in the field of composing and arranging Christian devotional songs and it may be possible that he might have lured the unsuspecting and naive girl into his lair on the pretext of imparting music lessons; one church official duly confirmed that such murmurs were constantly heard about the now disgraced father but were summarily dismissed as just one of those things by the church's higher ups..........
Apart from launching a massive manhunt to nab the accused at the earliest; the police officials have also requested other such victims to step forward and narrate their tales of woe so that a water tight case could be built up against the errant church priest........
I for one thought that other such so called holy men; sanyasis; gurus; priests et al would have learnt a lesson after the long arm of the law caught up with Asaram Bapu; his son; Swami Nithyananda and many others of their ilk; their pitiable plight was cause enough to have reconsidered their predilections and put a lid on their nocturnal tendencies; but it certainly takes all kinds to make this world and one is always wiser in hindsight.........
