A Romanian priest named Nicolae Tănase made a shocking statement at a conference in Constanța, a city in south-east Romanian. He said that girls who are sexually assaulted should go to prison because they attract boys and therefore are not completely innocent.
The priest spoke at the conference „Fasting: Obedience, diet, or therapy?” in Constanța. In his speech, the priest referred to girls who are sexually assaulted. The event was organized by ASCOR (Association of Romanian Orthodox Christian Students) and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Constanța, according to dobrogealive.ro.
„Beautiful girls attract boys and then the boys end up in prison because they pursued the girls. They will be condemned and will go to prison, but the girls are not completely innocent. They should also be held accountable.
If he gets six years in prison, she should also do three, four months. Why? Well, he didn't just latch onto her, anyway, he latched on because she caught his eye in a special way.
That's why our Christian women used to have another behavior, they were very attractive, they had a certain way of walking, thinking, looking," said the priest.
ASCOR Constanța writes on their official Facebook page that their event was blessed by Father Daniel, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, and by His Eminence Father Teodosie, Archbishop of Tomis.
