Rape is not the fault of the victim or anything she/he is wearing. A skimpy clothing choice is perhaps not wise, but the rapist is at fault. The full weight of the crime belongs on his shoulders, no one else's.

I was sexually assaulted after my shift was over at a restaurant, by the owner, who was drunk.  A lot went on. I went to the police and reported it, and brought my clothes that I had worn that night.  It was a 3 hour humiliation session.  I was on tape and also written report.  The guy was brought in for questioning, denied everything and basically called me a liar.  The burden of proof was on me.  Since he hired a lawyer quickly, a pal of his who was a former mayor, I had no choice but to drop the case. Unfortunately, I think a lot of women do this. I couldn't put my kids and parents and husband through a long painful trial, and having no real evidence except my testimony.  What goes around comes around, I guess, and he'll get his one of these days.

PUT IT THIS WAY, IF I WALK IN MY HOUSE AND MY ONLY CHILD IS LYING DEAD ON THE FLOOR AND I DISCOVER THAT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE HAS JUST BEEN RAPED BY THE KILLER. AS I WALK IN THE ROOM HE DROPS HIS KNIFE AND TELLS ME HE GIVES UP BECAUSE I HAVE A GUN IN MY HAND. YOUR DAMN RIGHT HES GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL THAT NIGHT. WHY SHOULD IT BE ANY DIFFERENT IF HE GETS CAUGHT SEVERL MONTHS LATER.

No.  I've been raped and cannot comprehend why you would ever falsely accuse someone.

I know how you feel, although my rape was very different from yours. First off, please remember that it WAS NOT your fault. Even if you would lose a court case, it is still worth fighting... Also, obviously this guy is a sexual predator, I would make sure that all of your girlfriends know to avoid him.

You have to start by calling attorneys in your area.  They can give you referrals to reputable attorneys that work on a contingency basis.  Since I don't know the specifics, other than a horrific rape, you should be able to find a good attorney with the know how to try this kind of predator on a contingency basis.

Well, I have a confession.  When I was 15 my cousin had a boyfriend.  Me and her used to compete about everything.  Her b/f liked me.  One day we went to the pool and me and him decided to go to the parking lot and smoke a cig.  She stayed in the pool.  Me and him went and made out is what we did.  I still feel bad about it, but I have never told her.

Thank you thank you thank you!  I've felt the same way for years and some people think I'm crazy for thinking it.  I've been raped countless times and know people that have been raped.  Sex offenders deserve to be castrated or worse.  Some one who could do something like that and not think twice about all the things their taking from their victoms need to be severely punished.  And they let thes freaks go to walk our streets where our children play, can you believe that?  I agree with you 100%!!!!!  They should be castrated then given life in prison to suffer.

The whole notion that a rapist can beat the charge because of way the complainant was dressed is so ridiculous that it almost rises to the level of an urban legend.\n\nThere are circumstances in which a complainant's style of dress might come up in cross-examination, but no accused rapist ever got acquitted because the alleged victim was dressed slutty.

he "married" her when she was 6 years old. He "consumated" the marriage (some term this rape) when she was 9 years old

You should have asked people what they think before acting on impulse. I am afraid the damage is done and your cousin is going to hate you when she finds out and she will find out. Better to leave the guy alone and tell your cousin what happened. You are probably going to get your butt kicked for doing what you did. Good luck !

Being raped is very degrading to a women it takes away her pride self respect makes her feel worthless, and ashamed. The women who don't report rape is out of fear from the assailant or being ashamed. Ashamed might not be the correct word to use. you get the point though. I don't know what I would do. I would hope that I would have the courage to report it so it wouldn't happen to someone else.  I had a friend once she was in her mid 40s she waited until she got married to have sex. She was 18 on her wedding night her husband tied her to the bed and sodomized her. she came from a family that taught you that your husband is the law and what he does to you is his business and you didnt question him. She is no longer married to him thank goodness. For anyone out there who has been raped my heart goes out to you.

The fact is that you can't.  What I have seen from having been to a few of those countries is that they primarily run by culture, not law or religion.  Sure, they claim it's the law or part of religion, but careful examination of both will tell you the opposite.  She won't get justice because in those countries they just don't care.  The victim is the criminal in their eyes.  They criminal is rarely punished whereas the victim has a stigma attached to her permanently and may even be murdered to protect her family's "honor" if that's what you want to call it.

I would file suit against her.   It's women like that that make it so hard to get convictions on the real rapists.

I would agree with Loss Leader.  Your question assumes that what you've said is fact (that family members are punished less severely than "strangers") and I don't know that under the exact same circumstances, that's actually true. \n\nA 35 year old male who molests a fifteen year old female should be punished the same whether they are related or not.  If you know of two cases with the same fact pattern to demonstrate what you're saying is true, I'd be interested in hearing about them.  \n\nI would suggest that given family dynamics, it's entirely possible (in the above case, for example), the mother of the child may ask for a more lenient sentence, and it's even possible the victim would ask for a more lenient sentence.  I've certainly seen it happen myself...and obviously, I don't think it would happen for even a second if the suspect and victim weren't related.
