E.D., an asylum-seeker and domestic violence survivor from Honduras, was sexually assaulted by an employee while she was detained with her 3-year-old child at the Berks Family Residential Center in Pennsylvania. At the time of the assault, E.D. was 19 years old.

She filed suit against the detention center and its staff for their failure to protect her from sexual violence, even though they were aware of the risk. The record in the case, E.D. v. Sharkey, shows that her assailant coerced and threatened her, including with possible deportation, while the defendants stood by and made jokes

    Unbelievable, it reminds me of what the previous regime in Syria would do to prisoners.
    IIRC, the male prisoners would have their privates cut off,
    the women would be raped.

    This is very concerning, and depressing.

    What is the disgusting mentality for these crime committers, why dont they feel regret for raping someone?

      Because they’re like the orange one: addicted to the feeling of power, getting off on hurting others and no empathy or ability to understand other people.
