Baby Rape Story (3)
-------------------

Malina Saval has probably gone to press with his feature story
"about the tragic baby rape EPIDEMIC (caps intentionally mine)
in South Africa as it pertains to the false notion that sex with
a virgin will cure one of HIV/AIDS".

While rape/defilement of young girls from age 7/8 and above are
heinous crimes that have been reported commonly across Africa as
elsewhere, many of these are usually unconnected with self-
knowledge of HIV/AIDS in the rapist. Review of available massive
African newspaper reports online attest to the fact that the
rape of babies/infants under 15 months old may be one epidemic
in the minds of conjurers than in reality.

I hope that Mr. Saval had the benefit of reviewing the two re-
sources below before going to press:

* HIV/AIDS, the stats, the virgin cure and infant rape

* The 'virgin myth' and child rape in South Africa
