Islamic pendant 'taken off for rape' - (speaking of mentality)

By Frank Walker

The Sun-Herald

A man took off his Islamic pendant as he raped a girl, saying that to
keep it on would be "disrespectful", police alleged in court yesterday.

Farhad Qaumi, 19, of Berala, appeared in Parramatta Bail Court
charged with aggravated sexual assault, causing bodily harm and two
counts of detain for advantage. Police alleged Qaumi and another male
saw two girls, 15 and 16, on the street and offered them cigarettes,
swapped phone numbers and asked them to join them for a ride in May
last year.

Qaumi identified himself as Ahmed and the other man as Bobby. The
girls declined the invitation, but Bobby forced the 15-year-old into the
car.

Police alleged Qaumi also forced the 16-year-old into the car before
locking the doors.

After arriving at Auburn Swimming Pool car park, Bobby took the
15-year-old girl for a walk while Qaumi forced the other girl into the
back seat. There, Qaumi is alleged to have raped the 16-year-old girl
and forced her to perform oral sex.

A statement of facts tendered in court by police said Qaumi took off his
Islamic pendant, saying: "I have to take it off as it is disrespectful."

Court Registrar Donna Evans said she would grant $12,000 bail as
police had not shown how Qaumi had been identified as the perpetrator.

Qaumi did not enter a plea and will appear in Burwood Court tomorrow.
