WEYMOUTH - A Weymouth mother says the worst moment of her life was seeing blood on her 5-year-old daughter's underwear and hearing the little girl describe how a family friend had raped her and a brother, 9.

The second worst came a month ago when a prosecutor told the woman that the man charged with raping her children was being sent home to Saudi Arabia despite indictments against him, meaning he will almost certainly never face justice.



“I collapsed right over there by the washing machine and dryer,” the woman said in an interview at her Weymouth home. “I slid down there and cried for about three hours.”



The Patriot Ledger does not identify rape victims and is not naming the mother in order to protect her children.



Abdulrhman A. Abduljalil, the 31-year-old Saudi college student charged with raping the children in their Weymouth home last May, was deported by immigration officials Jan. 25, a day before he was due in court for a pre-trial hearing. He had been in the hands of immigration officials for months, but the mother of his alleged victims was shocked to hear he’d been sent home.

How a Saudi college student escaped prosecution on child rape charges



Now the woman wants answers, but neither the Norfolk County district attorney’s office or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, will take the blame. The district attorney’s office says its hands were tied once immigration officials arrested Abduljalil, and ICE says it had no choice but to deport him once an immigration judge ordered his removal.



That’s not good enough for the Weymouth mother, who now finds herself shuttling her children to weekly counseling sessions and seething in anger as their alleged rapist posts smiling images of himself to Facebook from the legal safety of Saudi Arabia. She cannot understand how a man indicted for child rape could be allowed to go free just because he came from another country.



“Somebody had to sign off on it,” she said. “Who signed off on it?”



‘A huge part of our lives’



Abduljalil, known to his friends as Abdul, came into the Weymouth family’s life because of an ad posted on Craigslist more than four years ago. He and his wife were looking for a place to stay for a brief time and ended up living in an apartment next to the Weymouth family’s home that they owned and regularly rented out.



But the Weymouth mother said the couple soon split up, and when the family found that Abduljalil was living in his car down the street, they invited him to stay with them until he could find a place. The mother said Abduljalil was charming, polite and great with her children, and soon became like a part of the family. After he moved to New Hampshire to go to college, he still came back most weekends to visit her family. He even became known around the neighborhood.



“This is somebody we trusted,” the mother said. “For four years, he was a huge part of our lives.”



But around the fall of 2015, she said Abduljalil started acting “weird” and small items began disappearing from around the house. When she caught him digging through her pocketbook late at night, she said she ordered him to stay away from the house.



‘I’m afraid’



Then last May, while the mother was out of town on a rare trip without her children, prosecutors say Abduljalil convinced her boyfriend to let him spend the night in the home. Prosecutors say Abduljalil crept into the children’s bed and raped them.



That night, the mother said, her 9-year-old son sent her a text message that said, “I’m afraid,” but wouldn’t explain why. The next morning, her 5-year-old daughter began texting her sad cartoon faces known as emojis.



She thought they probably just missed her, but she called her parents and asked them to check on them anyway. When their grandmother picked them up, they broke down crying and told her about the attack.



The children sat through two-hour interviews with investigators and a social worker as their mother waited anxiously in another room. She then watched in fury at Abduljalil’s arraignment in Quincy District Court as Judge Mark Coven set bail at $35,000 despite prosecutors’ request that it be set at $100,000. The scene repeated itself weeks later in Norfolk Superior Court, where Judge Beverely Cannone kept the bail requirement the same and allowed Abduljalil to live with a family in New Hampshire.



Then last month the mother got a call from someone in the district attorney’s office who told her Abduljalil would be deported before his next court date. She offered to put the woman in touch with a counselor.



Reached through Facebook last week, Abduljalil said the charges he faces in the U.S. are “fake.”



‘No justice’



The mother’s hatred for Abduljalil is evident, but she still has trouble believing that the man who became a part of her family, who she said they loved, was capable of what he’s accused of doing. She said her children’s counselor has told her that sexual predators are known to groom whole families, befriending them and earning their trust.



“He was here all the time, just a normal part of our life,” the mother said. “It’s really hard to get my head around what he did.”



She said the counselor has instructed her not to bring up what happened with her children unless they do first, but she knows they struggle with it. She said her son is angry and feels responsible for what happened.



Now she worries about what Abduljalil is up to in Saudi Arabia, where she fears he is being allowed to prey on children with impunity. She is afraid that he will come back to the United States, despite the arrest warrant that is waiting for him.



And she’s lost all faith in the American justice system, which she says has ignored her children’s suffering.



“Any immigrant can do whatever the hell they want here and then just go back home?” she said. “You know what I mean? There’s no justice being done for my kids.”
