This article says attempted rape and there's a comment a few pages back from someone who seems in the know if you want to know more about it. By all accounts the gun was found in his house after the police went over to investigate him for the sexual assault.

Actually, even in the first article posted it says "sexual assault" a couple of times. I don't know where you read harassment.

What are the odds he’s still in possession of that blanket?
The article clearly says sexual assault.
Sexual assault is rape. In Kenya it carries a minimum sentence of ten years in prison and the maximum is life.
And that’s not including the weapons charge

What the heck, have you not read the thread?
There is more than one article out there about this. Some point to alleged sexual assualt and or rape. One poster on here, in this very thread, indicated that he knows that a naked women ran out of his place. That's not evidence, but this is what people are talking about, the actual allegations.
But, yes, he deserves his day in court.50 -

The rape is max 15 years in jail.
The AK47 is lifetime in jail.
Not sure that they will bother with the rape allegation if he is charged with possession of the AK47. What would be the point.20 -
He could by his way out of this but it’s going to be expensive for his family. Cops, judges, jailers, etc. will all want money, big money.
I’m not even kidding but his family could even pay a militia to bust him out and get him to another country and on a flight out of Africa. Very expensive option but an option.

looks like bribing a judge in Kenya costs $2 million US

^ Sorry to break it to you, but Kenya isn't the kind of country where you have militias busting people out of prisons. Strange how this board is so obsessed with Kenya yet most know and understand so little about it.

Sorry to break it to you but if you have enough money in Africa you can pay a militia to do anything you ask them, including bust someone out of jail.

If you have the money, there are people you can pay to get you out.

Sorry to break it you but you, sir, are an idiot.

Cheaper than American judges.

Sorry you’re the idiot. You absolutely can buy your way out of a Kenyan prison and pay people to assist in your escape.

His best bet is to offer a payout, like his house, to the victim, and hope he has enough money to pay off the court.
It’s bad for him that he’s already in custody. He f@caked up big time. He better hope he has enough money to grease the system in his favor but there are now more and more people involved now he’s in custody.
His only way out of this is if his extended family sell up everything they own and come to Kenya with a million dollars US or so, and pay the victim to drop the charges and pay enough officials to get the weapons charge dropped then get out of Kenya fast. If not, he’s facing the new reality of doing jail time, where he will be a huge target for abuse.
Like I am said, he f@cked up big time. He is in some serious trouble. His drug ban is nothing compared to this.
$1 million dollars is, I think, a gross over estimate of what Zane and his family will need to have his appeal accepted. I'm thinking more like $50,000-$100,000 would greatly facilitate matters for his appeal, if it goes to that stage. Kenya is a relatively poor developing nation. We shouldn't confuse this case with silly U.S. compensations where people push $1 million for spilled coffee on their shirt....
We are even jumping the gun here because Zane has not yet been convicted and might not even be convicted.
Depressing to read the worst case scenarios here. Way over the top.
Zane R. is no choirboy, but lifelong criminal, he's not. He messed up big time but there may be extenuating circumstances to all of this.
Let's let the unfortunate Kiwi have his day in court.

Even if convicted and sentenced, it is predicted 99.9% that Z.Robertson would get out on appeal.
Zane has erred with this latest episode, but a 10-20 year sentence will not see the day after appeal. Of course the right lawyer and fees will facilitate and speed up the judicial process.
One feels that Zane has psychological issues after his 8 year ban.
Absolutely not condoning Zane's meltdown at the party but the photos of his arrest where Zane appears completely unperturbed and relaxed speak volumes.
The second photo (scroll down) with Zane in handcuffs, clutching possessions including a blanket, extra clothes and water, in preparation for his initial 5 days of custody, is a chilling reminder that when living in a foreign country, one should be very aware of the rules and regulations and cultural mores. All the more so in developing countries where the justice system is likely not top notch.
Yeah totally. "Who knew that unregistered ak-47's and attemptiong rape was not allowed here! So random!".

Anyone curious as to why the French are so loathed in Africa to the point of literally being kicked out of the continent in blunt rejection of their paternalistic neocolonial policies, take a look at Ghost1's obliviously chauvinistic posts for a clue.
Yeah, its incredible framing this like its somehow the fault of Kenya not his actions. If anything its a remainder that you should behave properly no matter which country you are in.
