Videos posted on social media show the group gathered outside the police station, trying to pressure the prosecutor and judge to release the alleged perpetrator.

“We urge the authorities to take appropriate action against those who, with mobilisations in favour of the alleged aggressor, sought to obstruct justice,” the statement added, demanding “an exhaustive and transparent investigation to identify those responsible and ensure that the act does not go unpunished”.

“This case highlights the disturbingly high tolerance for violence against girls in our country,” said Mónica Bayá, technical secretary of the NGO Comunidad de Derechos Humanos Bolivia.

She added: “What concerns us deeply is that this isn’t the first instance where the facts are being justified by wrongly placing blame on the victim, in this case, a 10-year-old girl who is unjustly accused of seducing and provoking the adult man.”

Bárbara Jiménez-Santiago, Equality Now’s regional representative for Latin America and the Caribbean, said: “The Bolivian state must safeguard her privacy and wellbeing and ensure her protection from further victimisation.”

In January, Brisa De Angulo, a rape survivor and campaigner for child victims of sexual abuse, won a groundbreaking case against the state of Bolivia.

Maybe the doomers are right and humanity really was a mistake

Definitely. Humanity is fucked. I have this username name because I had some extremly bad people fucking with me and no cops would help me. So now I hate America. I used to look at older people meant to help and guide with tears in my eyes and no one did shit.

Community is a lie where I am.

Now I have thick skin and a hardened personality and couldn’t give a shit about anyone or USA or Police.

It’s a fake community of real monsters only out for themselves and the power they can get to dominate others.

God is dead. Humanity is dead.

Cops won’t help you or I because we’re not the capitalist class. It’s even worse if you’re a minority. And same with most other people, unfortunately.

I live in small town South Dakota where people like to imagine they’re friendly, but they’re some of the most fucked up people you’ll ever have the displeasure to meet. I have the bad luck genetically to look like “one of the boys,” and so other men have disclosed to me their most unhinged thoughts and opinions, thinking I’ll agree. Don’t let them fool you – they’d absolutely commit murder or worse to get what they want.

I often think the best chance we’ve got is to curate a small group of people and live apart from all this. And what my husband’s been through too when he was a child, it makes me enraged. It’s like he says, humans are the most fucked up animal on the planet, and literally everything on earth would be better with us out of the picture.

Spot on.

I’m gay but basically “straight” in all other ways. So I get the part about people talking about their beliefs too.
