Hassan Nagi should not receive a harsh sentence for rapes, Sydney court hears

TAXI driver Hassan Nagi should not receive a harsh sentence for raping three women as he suffered a condition called "Don Juanism" which made him addicted to sex, his barrister said yesterday.

Clive Steirn SC also urged a District Court judge in Sydney to spare the sex predator a "crushing" sentence because he never bashed his victims while he was raping them.

"There was no gratuitous violence. None of the women was physically harmed. It's an important consideration," he said.

The submissions drew gasps from the public gallery, including from two of Nagi's victims. It also earned a rebuke from Judge James Bennett who said: "He doesn't get rewarded for not belting them."

Mr Steirn said Nagi, 37, from Bexley, had been diagnosed with Don Juanism after visiting brothels from the age of 20. The disorder was "a man's equivalent of nymphomania".

Article from February with details of the cases.

I still have no words. I actually Googled this, hoping it wasn't true, which was how I found the earlier article that just increased my RAGE.

I'm sure many lawyers make arguments for the sake of their clients that they may not themselves believe in. It's their job to protect their clients interests after all. It's one of the reasons I could never be a defence lawyer, that and I'm not smart enough.

But I thought the point of rape isn't sex, but power. If he just wanted sex he could become a gigolo, or pick girls up, or visit those same brothels. Or, you know, visit a psychiatrist.

Isn't the male equivalent of nymphomania called satyrism or something like that?

I love that there were two women in the audience that got to hear that they weren't harmed at all, it was just him being slightly ill.

Because, you know, shoving a foreign object into another person's body against their will isn't physical harm at all, nope nope nope.

Never mind all the other sorts of harm rape causes. It's only harm if it leaves VISABLE MARKS, PEOPLE.

I wonder if he'll feel 'physically harmed' when it comes round his turn in prison?

Oh yeah? Says you. Even if this dickbutt had a point, what about the MENTAL TRAUMA that will never go away? I think that is a more important consideration.

...Makes me want to handcuff both the defendant and his mouthpiece in a strange, unlit, windowless room in a bent-over position, lube up a pair of butt-plugs (just small, beginners' ones), and gently and carefully insert those objects into their asses. All the while telling both of them just how funny I thought this was, and just for shits and giggles I just might end the evening by torturing them to death and leaving Hefty bags full of their body parts along the road -- or just strangle them. Then take out the dildoes, uncuff them and leave them to stumble home.

See? No physical damage. They weren't raped.

I vote someone demonstrates two things to this guy:

1) What rape is.
2) What gratuitous violence is.

Then let's see if he can tell them apart!

What is it with people pulling the Don Juan/Casanova defense lately? A guy in Texas just got convicted for intentionally infecting partners with HIV, and his attorney was all "Oh, it was just the mistakes of a modern-day Casanova and the passion he created. He didn't mean to infect all these women," about it.
