It's absurd on so many levels I hardly know where to begin, you have to read it for yourself. However, in a slanted way it's actually acknowledging there is a legit issue with sexual violence and immigrants, highly unusual for a mainstream article. Here is an actual quote from an immigrant interviewed for the story:
Mr. Kelifa, the African asylum seeker, said he still had a hard time accepting that a wife could accuse her husband of sexual assault. But he added that he had learned how to read previously baffling signals from women who wear short skirts, smile or simply walk alone at night without an escort.
“Men have weaknesses and when they see someone smiling it is difficult to control,” Mr. Kelifa said, explaining that in his own country, Eritrea, “if someone wants a lady he can just take her and he will not be punished,” at least not by the police.
