Binge drinking, rapes escalate in Maun

According to one elder, some young men in the village believe buying alcohol for ladies means an automatic pass for casual sex. The misconception is believed to be behind the rising rape cases.

Maun is, undoubtedly, a revellers’ Mecca where residents and visitors alike engage in endless drunkenness. The village’s Maun residents are understood to be among the country’s biggest binge drinkers and there have been reports of weekend sex orgies.
