Mangaluru, Mar 23: : Around 68% of degree boy students watch rape and child porn seven hours per week, while 28% of degree girls in namma Kudla watch it on an average of three hours per week, according to Rescue, an NGO that conducted a survey on consequences of violent porn and teen porn.

Giving details of the survey on Wednesday, Abishek Clifford, CEO, Rescue, said the survey was carried out in 25 colleges in the city, comprising 500 students. The target age was 16-21 years. "Around 38% boys watch violent porn, including on average 11 per week, while 1,900 new students start watching rape each year and during their PU/degree years, they will have seen 2,900 rapes!" said Abhishek, quoting the survey results.

This watching of porn inspires rape and illicit activities, a fact that students agreed on during the survey, while 78% students agreed that porn is progressive and addictive. Around 87% of respondents said it leads to sexual activities and according to the students, 32% are sexually active with their partners. "This is also leading to unwanted youth pregnancies. According to our survey, each year 1,000 teen girls in Mangaluru get pregnant and undergo abortions," said Abhishek.

Watching rape videos also provokes teens to actually rape someone. The survey reveals that 82% said watching rape gives rise to a desire to rape someone in reality. "Even if 10% act on this desire, it would mean we are training 160 new rapists a year in Mangaluru city," according to Abhishek. He added that 75% said it also inspires them to go to prostitutes, while 37% actually do it.

To avoid all this, banning teen and rape porn on the internet is the only solution. He said soon after completing the survey across India, the NGO would file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) to ban such content from the internet. Asked where such content gets uploaded, Abhishek said it is done in foreign countries where trafficked girls are raped every day, as it is with child porn.

He added that in the past six years, more than 250 teen girls from Mangaluru are abducted by human traffickers and forced into sexual exploitation. "While 50% boys watch child porn, 70% of porn sites have such content." To combat the situation, awareness among teenagers and a complete ban of content from the web is the only solution, he pointed out.

First of all block all sexual and violent sites on internet. And file case on sharing such videos on social media and whatSapp. And most of all these responsible students ( children of good parents ) must have known the economic theory. When demand increases supply increases. So stop watching this and stop the demand. Stopping the demand will save many girls from being forced into such tragedies.

Bengaluru, Mar 15: Former Karnataka chief minister and senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act on Thursday for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor at his residence in Bengaluru last month.

Yediyurappa, 81, was booked after a woman lodged a complaint saying that she visited his residence on February 2 seeking justice in a rape case against her daughter and sought that a special investigation team (SIT) be formed to look into the case.

According to the first information report (FIR), Yediyurappa allegedly took the minor to a room, closed the door and sexually assaulted her. The woman further alleged in the FIR that when she confronted Yediyurappa, he said that he was checking if the girl was raped or not. Yediyurappa later allegedly apologised and asked the woman not to reveal the matter to anyone.

The Sadashivanagar police in Bengaluru have registered a case under Section 8 (commit sexual assault) of the Pocso Act and Section 354 (a) (sexual harassment) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Reacting to the allegations, the former CM said that around one-and-a-half months ago, they (the victim and her mother) had come to his house seeking help and he had taken them inside. 

“After listening to her, I called the city police commissioner B Dayananda over phone seeking to address her problem. Later, they spoke against me and I then suspected that there is some health problem with her. I sent them to city police commissioner’s office. I even gave her some money as they were in distress. I came to know that an FIR has been registered and will look into it. But this is what I get for helping someone,” he added.

Udupi, Mar 13: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah today said that Congress in coastal region will further strengthen thanks to the entry of former chairman of Commission for Backward Classes Jayaprakash Hegde, and former MLA Sukumar Shetty. 

He was responding to the queries of media persons after his arrival at the helipad in Udupi to take part in district-level convention of scheme beneficiaries.

“Hegde was in Congress and had served as MP. With Hegde returning back, the Congress will get more strength in the coastal districts,” he said.

On Hegde’s candidature for Udupi-Chikmagaluru Lok Sabha constituency, the CM said that the Congress high command will decide on the candidate.

On CAA

Siddaramaiah questioned why it took the Centre more than four years to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and termed the announcement as a political gimmick ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

 “Why were they silent all these years on implementing the CAA. With the fear of losing the upcoming Lok Sabha election, the BJP is engaged in all types of gimmick,” he said.

The Centre on Monday announced the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, a move that comes four years after the contentious law was passed. This paves the way for citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Siddaramaiah also said his government has not yet discussed the issue of implementation of the CAA in the State, and the Cabinet will take a call on it. “We are yet to read it. We will take a decision after going through it and discuss it in the cabinet tomorrow," CM said.

Gokarna (Uttara Kannada): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Wednesday said the Congress will decide about making him the Chief Minister in future, bringing to the fore again the issue of leadership change.

There was stiff competition between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar for the Chief Minister's post after the Assembly election results in May last year, and the Congress had managed to convince the latter and made him the Deputy Chief Minister.

There were some reports at the time that a compromise had been reached based on a "rotational Chief Minister formula," according to which Shivakumar will become CM after two-and-half years but they have not been officially confirmed by the party.

During a temple visit here, a priest prayed that God's blessings may be showered on Shivakumar, and he became the Chief Minister.

Speaking to reporters here in Uttara Kannada district, Shivakumar, who has in the past made no secret of his ambition to become Chief Minister, amid speculations of change in guard mid-way of the Assembly term, responded to talk in some political circles about the leadership issue.

"What's wrong if a priest expresses his desire before God while praying? The priest has expressed his desire. Now Siddaramaiah is the Chief Minister, I'm working as Deputy Chief Minister under him, also as party's state President. People speak about it and desiring it (Shivakumar should become CM) is a different matter, it will be decided by our party," Shivakumar said.

"Now we are all working under the leadership of Siddaramaiah, and our desire is that the state should progress further under his leadership," he said.

"There will be people including supporters and priests, who pray for us, they will express their opinion. Can we stop them from doing it? At the temple it is between God and his disciple, they have expressed their feelings to God," Shivakumar added.
