| 2024-12-23 |
| [KhaamaPress] Haroon Hakimi, an Afghan citizen accused of sexual assault, was officially declared innocent by a court in Virginia, USA. The trial took place on Friday, December 20, in the state of Virginia, where a 12-member jury found Hakimi not guilty of the sexual assault charges brought against him. Hakimi had been accused of sexual assault by a 27-year-old woman residing in Virginia in late February last year. During the trial, the accusations could not be substantiated, and the court dismissed all charges filed against Hakimi. Following his acquittal, Hakimi told the Etilaat Roz newspaper, "The accusation of sexual assault against me was a blatant lie. I’m glad the court recognized my innocence." He also announced his intention to file a defamation lawsuit against the woman who accused him, seeking to restore his reputation in the courts of Virginia. It is noteworthy that Haroon Hakimi previously served as the Deputy Minister of Information and Culture in the former Afghanistan government. Hakimi’s case underscores the importance of due process and the judicial system’s role in determining the truth. His acquittal highlights the significance of safeguarding individual rights and ensuring justice in sensitive cases. Here’s a local news report following the original complaint back in March: Woodbridge man charged with raping woman he recently met: police[FOX5DC] A Woodbridge man has been charged with raping a woman he recently met, according to police. At 4:49 p.m. on March 8, officers responded to investigate a sexual assault that reportedly occurred in the 12200 block of Granada Way in Woodbridge earlier that day. Police say the victim, a 27-year-old woman, reported that she had recently met 33-year-old Mohd Haroon Hakimi and while at his home on Granada Way, Hakimi raped her. She eventually was able to leave the home and contacted the police. Hakimi was arrested and charged on March 9. His bond status and first court appearance date are not known at this time. |

| #4 If he is an Afghan citizen, sounds like he is living in the wrong. |

| #3 Found 'Not Guilty,' meaning there was insufficient proof - perhaps reasonable doubt that it was consensual. Honestly, that's a tough hurdle in cases like this. |

| #1 Lately, being found Innocent or Guilty has had little to do with the real case or evidence. Mainly due to Liberal funded DA's, jury pool locations, carefully gleaned Jury Duty notifications based on Political Party Voter Registration, the selection process, behind the scenes tampering and the usual MSM cycle of pre-indoctrination. |
