Oh my god, this story is amazing.
So two people were just hanging out at Woodbine beach of all places, when a drunk Indian cruised up to them and asked if they wanted to ride in his boat?
I don't think the guy should be charged, they clearly consented to being raped. There is no way anybody would get in that boat without knowing that a rape was in their future.
That's worse than getting into a battered panel van. There is a 100% chance of a rape if you get into a boat with a random, drunk, 55-year old Indian and to make matters worse it was just a cheap 20 foot outboard.
If you're going to get raped on a boat, make sure its a yacht so there'll be some financial compensation.
This story is just ridiculous.
It was in Toronto, so good chance they were Liberals who conditioned themselves to never assume anything bad about non-Whites and to ignore instincts.
That boat isn't cheap, its around $60k. He probably rented it for the day.
Nah, that boat is actually pretty cheap.
It's the smallest in the range and resale is a bastard for boats like that. You can find them in the 5-10K range on the used market and financing is pretty easy to come by these days.
Boats are pretty cheap these days because the real costs are in slip fees and maintenance. There's tons on the used market and entry-level Rinkers are everywhere.
You have no idea what your talking about. You would have a hard time finding a similar model 20 year old Rinker in that price range.
Its also not an outboard.
They gave barely any information about the boat, and I'm not really a motorboat guy but going off the information provided I'd guess that the boat was around 25 years-old and an outboard.
We're talking about a 55-year old Indian rapist. No way that boat wasn't knackered and at the bottom of the range.
It is alleged that:
a man welcomed two people onto his boat
once on the boat, he steered the boat away from the shoreline
the man sexually assaulted the two people
It is further alleged:
on Friday, July 7, 2020, at approximately 5:30 p.m. a man was operating a power boat in the area of Woodbine Beach
the man met a group of three individuals at Woodbine Beach and welcomed the group on his boat
he then steered the boat away from shore
the group requested to be returned to shore but the man refused
the man then proceeded to perform indecent acts and sexual assaults before eventually returning the group to shore
On Tuesday, October 6, 2020, Shanthakumar Kandiah, 54, of Toronto, was arrested and charged
