This guy should have been considered a flight risk! It’s unreal that he was able to escape to the Middle East before trial.

The crazy thing is that the statement made by the lawyer in this case blames the people and not the rapist…sounds eerily like Europe:

“IT REALLY IS A SAD SITUATION WHERE OUR SYSTEM HAS GOTTEN SO BIASED THAT A PERSON HAS TO FEAR FOR HIS LIFE AND WOULD RUN, AS OPPOSED TO FACE JUSTICE”
Kevin Holt, defense attorney

A 49-year-old Iraqi refugee who came to the U.S. in 2003 has fled the country 48 hours before he was to stand trial in Kennewick, Washington, for allegedly raping a grade-school girl.

Khalid Fathey reportedly boarded a flight for Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Authorities issued a nationwide arrest warrant this week after he failed to show at his Benton County Superior Court trial, a local newspaper reported.

The U.S. Marshals Service then discovered that Fathey left Seattle on July 23 on a plane bound for Dubai, Anita Petra, deputy county prosecutor, told the Tri-Cities Herald.

She did not know if it was a one-way or round trip ticket… Either way, the cost would have been substantial but authorities haven’t said if they believe someone helped him get away.

Fathey was set free on a personal recognizance bond after he was charged with the sex crimes in May 2015. Having been in the country since 2003 he would have at least had a green card, which affords permanent resident status, but likely had full U.S. citizenship. Refugees qualify for full citizenship after five years.

Khalid Fathey came to the U.S. in 2003 as a refugee from Iraq, where he helped the U.S. government in its overthrow of Saddam Hussein. He is now accused of brutally raping and molesting a grade-school girl in Washington over a six-month period.

Judge Vic VanderSchoor waited 1 1/2 hours Monday – in case Fathey had car trouble or another problem – before calling off the trial, releasing the jurors and ordering the bench warrant for the fugitive’s arrest.
