Beraiah Hales, a 17-year-old Auckland resident who is at the center of the “Roast Busters” scandal, has bragged online about rape.
The “Roast Busters” group--which includes Hales and Joseph Levall Parker, son of actor Anthony Parker--is under investigation by police for allegedly getting underage girls drunk then raping them.
Hales once answered thousands of questions on social media website ask.fm which were submitted anonymously. Many of the questions were of a sexual nature.
One person asked him: “How would u get a girl? into bed.”
“Chloroform,” Hales responded.
Another question, asked seven months ago: “What is a saying you say a lot?”
‘Go ahead, Call the cops,’‘ Hales replied. ’‘They can’t un-rape you.’’
When someone asked him if he was committing statutory rape, Hales answered: ‘It’s not rape,. I had sex with one girl who is 13 when i was 16.. She wanted it and thats all that matters [sic].’’
One girl identified herself as Hales’ ex-girlfriend and defended him.
‘‘Of course it wasn’t okay! I know that! But the girls that did it gave them consent and even went back for more!’‘ she wrote. ’‘The girls always agreed to it.’’
The investigation into the group’s actions have shaken Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand.
Parker, son of actor Anthony Ray Parker, who appeared in the “Matrix” among other roles, was fired from his job after the allegations surfaced.
The manager at the real estate firm that Parker worked at has also threatened to fire Parker’s brother, Anthony, if Anthony can’t prove that he wasn’t involved.
The “Roast Busters” group have bragged about getting underage girls drunk then having group sex with them, mostly in videos posted online. The admissions by Hales on ask.fm are perhaps the most shocking yet.
Police say they are investigating what happened but can’t press charges unless one or more of the girls comes forward.
Hales, who lists on his Hi5 profile that he attended Massey High School and Glen Eden Intermediate, was asked in his online postings why he has never said what “you guys did to ’that girl.'”
‘‘I will go to jail hahahahahah,’' Hales responded.
When someone said “ew, you know rape isn’t even funny,” Hales said “I take my job seriously.”
In response to another question about how he raped a specific girl, Hales said: “I know ^_^. It was funny cause I knocked her out first.”
When someone said “hey .. i am 8 years old ! ............ your cute !” Hales said “Hey ... Im 16 and i rape.”
Police Minister Anne Tolley said that police are actively investigating the situation, which has been “frustrating” for police, reports Stuff.co.nz.
“The systems are very much changed from the early days. There is an enormous amount of support I know the police will be making sure is available to these young girls.
“But it’s a very difficult thing for young women to come forward and talk about what’s happened to them. It’s embarrassing, it’s frightening, the legal system itself can be overwhelming so I think we just have to continue to urge them and their families to get the courage to come forward and enable the police to take a case against these young men.”
