5 Iraqi Muslim Immigrants Charged in Brutal Gang Rape – My Chilling Connection to the Story
**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES #1 & #2 ****
Late last night, it was as if I saw a ghost. I came across a breaking news story about an Iraqi Muslim immigrant I had briefly helped and who is now one of five Iraqi Muslim immigrant suspects in a brutal gang rape of a 53-year-old woman in Colorado. More info here. I hope the allegations of his involvement are just that. One report says, “Two of the suspects were arrested for sexual assault and accessory to a crime, while the other three were arrested for just accessory.” The seasoned police detective investigating the case says it is one of the most violent rapes he’s ever seen, with blood on the walls and massive internal injuries to the victim, as a result of blunt force. The story sends chills up and down my spine.

Eight years ago, I was very touched when I read a front-page Wall Street Journal story about a brave Iraqi boy who turned in his own Islamic terrorist father to U.S. troops in Iraq. At age 12 or 13, he showed tremendous courage and helped save American soldiers’ lives, begging them to arrest him. When they did, he turned in not only his own father, but 40 Islamic terrorists and their plots to kill American men. He also refused his father’s demand that he kill Americans. Because of his actions, his mother–who urged him to help the American troops–was murdered by terrorists. The story said that the soldiers in his unit promised him they would protect him, even after they were sent home from Iraq. They promised to bring him to the United States to shield him from a certain death sentence. But they needed help to do it. I contacted the soldier who headed the unit and offered my pro bono legal services to the extent I could offer them (as I am not licensed to practice law in Colorado and couldn’t do any work there). Although I’ve never written about it at length here, the fact that I did some legal work was public, well-known by many third parties, and not confidential or privileged. And the soldiers involved encouraged me to speak with then-FOX News reporter Heather Nauert for a report she did on the boy.
