| 2016-02-03 |
| [DAWN] A teenage rape victim was allegedly sexually assaulted a second time while in hospital receiving treatment for the original attack in India's east, police said on Monday, in the latest case of violence against women. The 15-year-old girl has told police that she was raped on Sunday by a security guard at the hospital where she had been admitted in Jamshedpur city in the impoverished state of Jharkhand. "We started the paperwork but haven't done much else and jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... the private security guard posted at the hospital after the girl's complaint and are now awaiting her medical report", police superintendent Chandan Jha said. "The girl has (now) been referred to the best hospital in the city for further treatment and rehabilitation," he added. The girl had been admitted several days earlier to the M.G.M Hospital after informing police that she had been raped by a teenager in her neighbourhood on the city's outskirts. "Since the accused in the earlier case was also a minor, he was detained and sent to a juvenile remand home," Jha said. Public hospitals in India are often poorly resourced, with lax security, while overworked doctors and nurses struggle to cope with a crush of patients and families. |

| #2 Is it less of a sin because she was no longer 'pure'? |
