Reply #137: He committed a crime and should serve out his sentence, apology or not [View All]

I wonder if his victim had turned out to be a drug addict or perhaps had killed herself over this rape would some people feel differently about him?

I had a number of good friends who were sexually assualted in college and most women have a hard time getting on with their lives. Many universities keep these crimes under the radar because they don't want to hurt their reputation.

I had a friend who was raped by a former boyfriend. She had stopped dating him because he wanted to get into some kinky sex that she did not feel comfortable about. However, she didn't think he was a threat until one night he took her out for a drink "for old times" and then he brutally raped and sodomized her.

She knocked on my door after the attack and I took her to the hospital...I pleaded with her to call the city police and not the campus police. Well...it went to the campus and you know what...the fucker got off ...he had a Naval commission and everyone wanted to see this fine young man off to a great start...so my friend had to suck it up...and all she got was a restraining order. She was never right after that incident.

Another friend was raped by a guy at a party...she quit school after the next term because she became so unbalanced.

Too long have women dealt with rape and the lack of justice...it is time to stop.
