Three African-American players from the Lappeenranta-based Finnish American Football League team Rajaritarit are suspected of rape.
According to the club, the players have been in police custody since Monday of last week.
“The matter came to me as a total surprise. We have made an effort to provide support to our players through the entire process”, explains Rajaritarit chairman Juho Ritala.
According to Ritala, the suspected deed would have happened in the residence of the players in question on Sunday night nearly two weeks ago. The men were taken into custody on Thursday of last week, Ritala says.
The police have not issued any statements with regard to the suspected crime. Eventually the Rajaritarit team decided to make the announcement themselves.

“There seem to be a lot of speculations circulating around in a town of this size. Many people seem to believe they know quite a bit about what has happened. So we decided to come forward with what we know.”
Ritala points out that so far it is merely a question of suspicion of criminal action, albeit a serious charge.
“Let the police do their investigation. In due course they will issue a statement”, Ritala told the Finnish News Agency STT on Thursday.
At the end of last season Rajaritarit – the name translates loosely as “Border Knights” in keeping with Lappeenranta’s position close to the Russian border – won promotion back to the Finnish top league.
The team has four American players, one of whom, Thomas Kudyba, is not suspected of any wrongdoing.

The team’s other American players arrived in Lappeenranta during the spring and the summer, the last one at the very end of July.
The team will play its last game of the regular season on Saturday. Rajaritarit have already made it to the play-offs.
“I doubt the boys will make it to the Saturday game. As far as I know their next hearing will not take place until Monday. Kudyba is our only foreign reinforcement on Saturday.”
Ritala hopes the team will be given some peace and quiet to prepare for the coming games.
The American Football Association of Finland (SAJL) information officer Tomi Tiilikainen regards the incident as very unfortunate.
“I have never heard of anything like this before during the twenty or so years that I have been involved in the sport. In time we will find out what has happened. In the meantime neither the association nor the team can do anything”, Tiilikainen commented on Thursday.
Finland’s Vaahteraliiga (“Maple League”) consists of eight teams, with the top four at the end of the regular season advancing to the play-offs.
This billboard from Africa encourages black people to rape white women from Finland because they won’t get punished and yet those who stand against multiculturalism are slandered “racists” but this billboard together with this savage act of rape shows to the entire world who’s the real racist and criminal.
30,000 rapes a year on White women by black men. Rapes on black women by White men: Virtually zero.
In Finland for example in Espoo 70 % of rapists are immigrants (refugees, legal or illegal migrants etc.) and tourists usually from Irak, Iran, Turkey, Somalia, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Nigeria, which are all Islamic countries. And the rest 30% may very well be also immigrants, who have gotten Finnish citizenship. After that they are reported in news and everywhere as Finns. Even kids who are born in Finland, but whose parents are from Islamic countries, usually turns out to be just like their parents.
They all got sentenced for 1 year and 8 months in prison for gang raping TWO under 20 year old girls and have to compensate 4,500 euros to both of the victims. Too bad all three of the negros are already in the US since they were released at one point in time and nobody thought of putting a travel ban on them. We doubt they’ll ever be transferred back to Finland to serve their sentences.
One girls is 19-year-old Timothy Sanders of Ashburn, Va., and the other one is a 18-year-old.
The court system has treated the Finish rape victims like prostitutes. Here is 4500 euros for what happened and we’re not going to punish them because they just forgot to pay up front.
Most of the corrupt media from Finland censored the rapists and described them as “Americans” so that no one will know that they are actually African-Americans. Just an example: Ilta-Sanomat.

only one plausible solution here, ban all non-whites from coming to EU.
you don’t seem to understand these individual crimes would not have happened if these people weren’t in the country
There is no purpose for immigration. It can’t be justified
As far as women around the world are concerned, where are all the feminists making statements about the treatment of women in the third world!
No actually I clearly do understand the situation and it is truly sad that this happened to the two young women!!! However, what I’m trying to infer is that whether you stop immigration or not things like this will continue to happen because we do not live in a perfect world nor society… So how dare you try to sit up here a point fingers at all immigrants (who miagrate to these countries to obtain the opportunity to live a better life) as if its their fault that other immigrants come to these countries for all the wrong reasons and decide that they want to commit foolish act or crimes!!! The People of Finland are not perfect nor is anyone else from any other countries… So it doesn’t matter what country you’re in and what ethnic, or race you are…. Every where you go is violence and will continue to have violence with or without immigrants…………. So we should stop being so narrow and closed minded and look at the real fact!!! Finland has a poor government system and needs to adhear th better laws
Tiff, rape is a horrible crime, we all agree, however rapists like any other crime can be profiled. Did you know that in your own country the profiling statistics is as follows: 36 000 white and Hispanic women are raped by blacks every year, and white men and Hispanic men rape a total of 8 black women every year in your place of domicile… Numbers don’t lie my dear. Wake up and stop accepting the everybody is equal rhetoric from the mainstream media.
ALL AFRICAN NATIONS ARE THE CESSPOOL OF ALL OF HUMANITY! THAT IS THE GOD DAMN TRUTH
I HOPE & PRAY YOU DIE OF CANCER
“WHO CARES ABOUT EUROPE” sounds pretty racist to me. What if “WHO CARES ABOUT U.S OR AFRICA”?
tiffany wtf are you talking about you sick cunt!
RAPE IS A CRIME AGAINST WOMEN
tiffany wtf are you talking about you sick cunt!
RAPE IS A CRIME AGAINST WOMEN!
HOW DARE YOU BE ALLOWED TO EVEN BREATH YOU GOD DAMN CUNT MAY YOU DIE OF FUCKING BRAIN CANCER
tiffany,fuk u you nig nog knob licker.id cut your throat if i knew who you were
Rape should be punished by death…. there is no other way to train these untrainable apes… even a chimp learns quicker.
Finland: how is that good old cultural tolerance working out for you? Maybe this incident will wake you up to the fact that multi-culturalism means eliminating white culture and replacing it with feral “culture” that has never developed anything positive for mankind.
There was a mistake in starting text. There was said: “They all got sentenced for 1 year and 8 months in prison”. They all got sentenced for 1 year and 8 months probation, not prison. But hopefully it will change in the Court of Appeal in Kouvola and they will get at least 2 years in prison.
I am Finnish so I can guarantee that the below information is correct.
In district court of Lappeenranta Lawrence Atkinson and Joe Nairn were foundguilty of rape and Brandon Horn was found guilty of abetment of rapes. District prosecutor Markku Ahonen had demanded them to be convicted for aggravated rapes.
They were convicted to 1 year and 8 months probation and 4500 euros compensation to each, under 20-years old, girls. Court construed probation sentences mostly with the fact that the men were longish time, meaning over 2 months, in pre-trial detention. They have all returned to USA.
Girls spent time with the players as friends in a local nightclub. Later they went to their apartment to talk. There one of the men asked the girls if they wanted to have sex with him. Girls said no. Then Lawrence Atkinson and Joe Nairn each raped one girl while Brandon Horn held the girls in place.
District prosecutor Markku Ahonen complained about the sentences. He still demands men to be convicted for aggravated rapes. In Finland a minimum sentence for aggravated rape is 2 years in prison. Next this case will be handled in the Court of Appeal in Kouvola.
So Lawrence Atkinson, Joe Nairn and Brandon Horn and/or their lawyers should later be in the Court of Appeal in Kouvola.
It’s not!!!
Everyone in Finland, except the rapists, paedophiles and animal torturers (which we clearly have also in high positions in Finland), hate Finnish court system more than anything!! In Finland people don’t get actually punished (almost) at all for raping children and women and brutally torturing and killing animals (others pets etc.). Even though, most Finns would be ready to give death sentences for these crimes.
We need to renew our legal system so that people will get much bigger sentences for these and other violent crimes. Otherwise it will just keep creating more and more violence and criminality in Finland since criminals renew their crimes and revenge is the only way to stop rapists, paedophiles and animal torturers etc. We have made addresses etc. about it, but nothing has happened. Even Russian men have publicly offered cheap solutions to all the victims who want justice in Finland, which has been shown for example in Finnish news, documents, internet pages and newspapers.
Many of us have protested having immigrants from Islamic countries from the beginning. Now the rest of the people will hopefully wake up. Many have voted political party Greens (Vihreät), because they want to save the nature. But the same party has been bringing brutal rapists, paedophiles, animal torturers, killers and other violent criminals from Islamic countries and still is planning to do so. Sharia is Islamic law. It for example commands that if someone owns a bible his/hers right hand must be cut off with a sword without any anaesthesia and all Christians must be killed. Why someone would want their enemies to their country? Islamic immigrants are already a terrorist threat to Finland and other countries.
Now I hope people are getting wiser in voting. In next elections they should vote people who are willing to stop other than work based immigration and who are willing to renew the legal system to stop brutal crimes against the innocent. We should vote political party the True Finns (Perussuomalaiset) and for example it’s member Jussi Halla-Aho.
That was reply to RM Edaps question:
Finland: how is that good old cultural tolerance working out for you?
Now the American media will put on a mediatic show to defend their American players from the (for American’s point) outrageous arresting by a foreign country like they did with Amanda Knox…or may be they’ll not: they’re only three niggers at least
YOU RACIST BASTERED!!! GUESS WHAT YOU’RE ONLY A PIG
STFU you stupid bitch. Why do you defend these imported criminals, the ones that commit crime
Why do young support immigration? People from the first world can’t emigrate. Don’t you get the impression third worldrs are imported for manual labour, and cheap labour
If you really cared for them, you’d start to think a bit
If you love them so much, why don’t you move to one of these third world countries?
Alan you’re so ****ing ignorant and narrow mined!!! Wow name calling is necessary that goes to show you how well educated and ill mannered you… Its clear to my knowledge how incompetent belligerent buffoon you really are!!! Yeah you’re right these third world countries are the reason for manual and cheap labour… So guess what hunn; without them the world couldn’t go around and they are the real reason why the world is successful today!!! I’m quite sure you don’t have the skill, knowledge, or pride to do what these people do on a daily bases to make sure pigs like yourself live a much better life!!! I hope you rot in what ever you believe in matter a fact I take it back because you’re probably decaying in your dreadful miserable pathetic little life!!! After these centuries, RACISM is still amongst us… I wish you well ALAN
Tiff
you miss the point. those people that import immigrants don’t care about them. They want to use them for cheap labour, which is wring
They are better off staying home and we in the west make a genuine attempt to lift their standard of living for their sake, and not for the sake of the IMF & world bank thiefs
we are told to tolerate the intolerable. Sorry, I’m sick of being told to be tolerant
Do NOT tolerate the intolerable
the trouble is the west is getting the third world underclass
okay I totally understand now
Tiff
come here and have some fun
http://www.thetrollhouse.net/forum/index.php
Honestly you people kill me with your racial remarks!!! This is the reason why the world cannot be a better place because of ignorant people like your self… So what if a white women was rape (SAD) but every hour of every day women around the world of different race & ethnic group are raped and molested and 8/10 never recieve justice.It doesn’t matter what race or gender you are people in general commit crime everyday. So to sit up here and slander non white folks is obscene… How dare you try to make white people more superior than any other race… You people need to get it together because no one on earth is superior than one another!!!! LIKE REALLY WHO CARES ABOUT EUROPE
Are u stupid?
First you say that we are ignorant… Then u note that “WHAT IF A WHITE WOMEN GOT RAPEd”… That sound like you dont care
->
Then you care about how in niggerlands in 3rd world women get raped all the time… So why you care about them, but not the white victims? Because you are the racist here.
And reasearch shows that most raptist (who commit more than 1 rape) are mentally disordered in western countries… They need help for their disease and unfortunately in USA ur help is to but them in the prison. Yes, its wrong to rape… but these people are ill and they’re supposed to be put in treatment.
But in 3rd world (like in islamic countries) culture is different and rape is justified. So this means that in 3rd world the people are sick, all of them… And they are ok with raping women etc. You cant change their culture, you would just get raped too.
And read the bilboard… Prob. in somalia, and now all the somalis come to finland just to rape our women.
Go fuck yourself
“Tiffanystupidho” (terrible name by the way) you just brought yourself down to her level you are no better, maybe worse. you sound so ignorant. learn to articulate your point with out sounding so ignorant and resorting to foul language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well you know what i think , here we go NIGGERS needs to die . and nigger will always be a nigger . go ahed and do those rapes in other countrys like ITALY or GERMANY or even RUSSIA , they will fuck your nigger ass up im sure . anyways NIGGER means SHIT . and shit means NIGGER .
dem sho be sum ugly porch monkies!all rapist should be thrown in a giant woodchipper feet first.
Dear Tiffany,
You stated the following:
-”all immigrants (who migrate to these countries to obtain the opportunity to live a better life) as if its their fault”
-”The People of Finland are not perfect nor is anyone else from any other countries”
-”Finland has a poor government system and needs to adhere to better laws”
You are right nobody is perfect and it is the government’s fault. Shame on them. If anyone is against any form of immigration they are closed mined racists. I know because I am an American and I watch CNN.
European news is full of lies the immigrants just want what Europe owes them. If the football players were not immigrants they would have gotten laid. The blatant racism displayed by the victims is a mitigating factor (means something which lessens the charges- sorry for using big words because I know how ignorant the white European Nazis are). The girls should apologize for their racism and the government should help these MEN with their future expenses.
You stupid Europeans should be more Liberal like the US high schools. In school they taught me that Hitler was from the country of Europe and also, the school said that the “means justifies the end”. For those of you who aren’t sure this means that if you treat people well they will be nice back to you and the whole country of Europe will be happy. Just look at all the countries in South Africa, everyone is happy and there are no signs of genocide. Yey, Liberalism.
Haha this post is sop funny, but seriously we Americans own you european niggers! We have our bases in your countries, and there’s nothing you can do about! This is what you guys get for fucking with our waters and “accidental” oil spills, fuck BP, and fuck all of europe!
I can’t believe the comments I’m reading on here…is this savegery an American thing?
Frank and you others, you redefine bigotry, small-mindedness and short-sightedness, let alone racism, with every poison-dripping word.
And you sound plain dumb, ignorant, misinformed and generally nasty. Do yourselves a favour and keep your eveil thoughts to yourselves. Or alternatively, pop down somewhere with a considerable African-American poulation and put your case to people. Maybe they’ll think you’re right if your arguements are so ‘convincing’.
Somehow I think you’ll be lynched, inshallah. (That means ‘God-willing’, Frank/Adam/Beja/ It’s a foreign word so you probably won’t have come across before, let alone understood it).
Warrem, the savagery is rape, and it’s nt an American thing. it’s a nigger thing
[...] Three African-American Football players raped two Finnish girls and left unpunished [...]
Niggers = inferior swine
… to all Europeans, not everyone in the US is as stupid as Tiff, we still refer to Eurpoe as the “Old Countries” and have empathy for your current plight. Also, we have the same enemies lurking here and they hide behind this New World Order…
