SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 26 – Into a courthouse
periodically enflamed by sex
abuse scandal cases, from
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine
Maxwell to the quieter
echo of Kevin
Spacey, UN rapist Karim
Elkorany came in quietly,
indicted and quickly released
on bond.
But any
objective review of the case -
at least 13 forcible rapes
after drugging - make it clear
it deserved more attention.
Was it the
victims, aid workers in far
away Iraq?
Or that the
perpetrator was himself
ostensibly an aid worker, or
Communications Specialist, for
the United Nations under
Melissa
Fleming?
Fleming, who had
been Elkorany's boss, refused
repeatedly to answer email
questions about the case, as
did UN Spokesman Stephane
Dujarric. They banned the
questioner, and refused to
answer even a letter
from pro bono law firm Quinn
Emanuel.
Like
Elkorany, who flashed his blue
UN "passport" to get security
to allow his to keep raping,
they had immunity. That
Elkorany, allowed to return to
the US by UNSG Antonio
Guterres, raped Victim 2 here
too made no difference to
them.
Despite the
graphic description of
penetration and surgeries, the
text messages with a big-name
journalist / UN Correspondent
bragging about grinding up
Zanax and causing pain, little
was done. Outside of Inner
City Press, and musing pieces
involving Kurt Wheelock, there
was little coverage.
A plea deal to a
mere 33 months, when Maxwell
got 20 years, and R.Kelly 30
years.
