Priest Detained After Being Caught in Consensual Encounter with Student at Tansian University

On May 11, Tansian University in Oba erupted when a Catholic priest was discovered in a consensual encounter with a female student. Students dragged him through campus, tearing parts of his clerical attire. Some believe the student staged the incident due to a prior disagreement. To prevent further unrest, police took the priest into custody. In my view, if both parties consented, this is not a rape case. Stripping and beating two adults for private conduct is barbaric. They could sue their attackers. I’m not condoning infidelity or extramarital relations, but I oppose biased punishment.
