Celebrity rapist.
Osman Ç. (28), who lives in Mardin's Kızıltepe district, sexually
assaulted his niece Z.Ç. (16) for two days when she came to Mardin on
holiday from Switzerland in 2019. Z.Ç. subsequently went to the police
station with her older sister to report the incident and Osman Ç. was
taken into custody but released after giving a statement.
Two months later, a police lab medical report identified sperm samples
in Osman Ç.'s room and Z.Ç.'s blood on a handkerchief there, so Osman
Ç. was arrested again and jailed in September 2020. Nevertheless, at
the first hearing of the case on 13 January, despite the soundness of the
evidence and the public prosecutor's support for the victim, Osman Ç.
was released. (!)
As Osman Ç. left the prison he was greeted by a crowd of well-wishers,
complete with "davul ve zurna" (musical group).(!) This prompted
Z.Ç.'s older sister P.Ş. to say "My sister was 16 when she went through
this. We filed a complaint right away but the rapist has gone free. My
sister's psychology is a mess and she's tried to commit suicide twice.
My mother can't leave her side for a moment. The police lab report
confirmed what my sister said, yet five months later he's out. Shame
on justice! And he's met by celebrations with pomp and music. I want
the judge and prosecutor to explain how they can release rapists like
him."
