The 15-year-old was found dead on a beach in India in 2008 Two men have been cleared of raping a British schoolgirl and leaving her to die on a beach in Goa. Scarlett Keeling, 15, had been on holiday with her family in the popular Indian resort town of Anjuna when she attended a Valentine’s Day party in 2008.  Prosecutors alleged Carvalho and D’Souza had plied Scarlett with drugs, raped her and left her unconscious on the beach where she subsequently drowned.. Ms MacKeown, 51, had earlier said she was 'shocked' by the verdict, telling reporters: 'I've waited eight years (for justice) - and now this. 'Somebody murdered my daughter in this country and someone needs to be held accountable. I'm devastated and shocked. 'We thought justice would finally be done, but it hasn't. We had shown faith in the Indian judicial system, but the Indian system has let me down. This verdict is rubbish and we will file an appeal in the High Court.'  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/scarlett-keeling-british-schoolgirl-15-murder-killing-rape-goa-beach-verdict-not-guilty-cleared-a7324776.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- corruption too much |

Sexual relations with men/women other than husband/wife . I don't know who to blame . Sociologists say , Industrial societies are at fault as that has taken humans away from humanity . Not sure what you're getting at and how is is that related to my post but m'kay I think he's saying your luck went down because people now don't care about the longevity or character of their partners. |
| Those guys are disgusting and I hope they die. |
| Did some topless Femen barge into the courtroom or something ? The one time feminism is actually needed, would be a shame if they missed it. Although I gotta admit a 15 year old attending a Valentine party all by herserlf in a foreign country like India is asking for some trouble. |
| Two Indian Men named "Carvalho" and "D'Souza"? I can imagine more than a few Indians named D'Souza, but Carvalho? Guess I don't know much about Indians after all. |

Portuguese outposts in Sri lanka and parts of western India did exist after all. OT: Doesn't surprise me, corruption is one of the biggest problems India is facing. |
| Omg India. Not religion of peace, but its still seriously fucked up. Indian is pretty corrupted in this sense. |

| The article doesn't say anything about how or why they were cleared, but the comments indicate she took the drugs herself and accidentally drowned when she passed out on the beach. I shouldn't get more useful info from unsourced comments than from a news article. I don't know, but if I was writing an article about people being cleared of rape in a country well-known for rape, I might talk a little more about what went on in the trial and judgement rather than how the victim was 15 and the mom swears to appeal it to the highest court. Appeal on what grounds? Fucking report something! |
| God bless India. Pillar of women's rights |

| I'm afraid to say this... There may be no turning back; "India has a rape culture". In other words whether they did it or not them getting off doesn't surprise me at all, especially with the cast system in play you get some major corruption and "good ol' boys club" mentality. |
| I am on the edge ! The edge of the edgiest edge ever edged by edgekind ! я умерте ужасну депрессии... |
| The names were a bit of a surprise, so it was good to learn that India had portuguese outposts. As for the matter at hand, it is completely deplorable. Was the family acquainted with these men? How was she left alone with them? |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| So... why was the 15 year old girl alone on a beach with two adult men in a foreign country? That's some really negligent parenting there. |
| Why is everyone attacking the men? They were cleared, AKA there wasn't enough evidence to point them towards the crime. Innocent until proven guilty. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
