"WHEN A CRIME IS TOO OPEN, IT CONSTITUTES NO OFFENCE".

Once upon a time, there was a very prominent no nonsense  female judge who was well-known for dealing ruthlessly with rapists whenever they were brought before her for a trial. It was a common knowledge that any rapist standing before her must get fifty strokes of the cane on his bare bottom in addition to twenty years of jail terms.

One day, five guys abducted her and took her to their hideout. They then raped her in turns. Thereafter, they introduced themselves to her and gave her their house addresses in case she wants to arrest and prosecute them in court for her not to have difficulty in getting them.

But she neither reported the incident nor prosecuted them in court. She kept it secret. Then, about a year later, one of the rapists came to her and introduced himself to her and then asked her why didn't she arrest and prosecute them in court.

She then replied him saying, "You see, when a crime is too open, it constitutes no offence".
