Do you believe that "once a rapist, always a rapist?" (and why)?

What I have read in many books and journals, yes, once a rapist always a rapist.  It is in their head to do it and they always will.

I was the first person that a friend of mine called after she had been raped, and I was there for her. I know some people may not think that very heroic, and at the time I didn't think so either, but she tells me that nobody has ever done anything as nice before.\n\nIn my mind, it was just being a friend for 18 hours straight. *shrugs*

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.

I was raped when I was 17. I am 21 now. I still havent gotton over it. I dont think I ever will. BUT I do not let it rule my life anymore.  I have good days and bad days... but the point is I still have days.  Its always gonna be there there you cant change the past. but it doesnt have to define you....\n\nIn a moment I found myself a victim.... In a lifetime I am finding my self a SURVIVOR

mangala.....nobody is born like that. they are eventually victims of the failed society.\n\nthere are several factors to be considered.....their upbringing....social n economical background......\n\n\nthe kind of values they were taught.....or rather a lack of it....\n\nimagine a person who was truly loved....will that person ever think of commiting a heinous crime like a rape???\n\nit reflects something really hollow in that persons soul....doesnt it??\n\nwhat the world sees is that the person commited the heinous act.....but what the world misses is what is causing a human to do such a heinous crime....\n\nmankind has been known for asking the wrong questions.....n therefore the society always does the wrong things!!!\nlike in this case a rapist would be punished.....\n\nn actually what the society should be doing is to look into the emotional n psychological well being of the entire human race in general.\n\nn that n only that can ensure a safe or a better society.

First off, you said you had someone looking to see if she was ever re-charged.  If they let her go, why are they going to recharge her?!  Your Kansas City Star article title excerpt was from when this woman was FREED, not charged.  \n\nAnd secondly, the only reason you're looking is because some guy is going around being HIV+ and having sex with women.  It has nothing to do with being a sexual predator.  You never stated whether or not the women this guy had sex with did it voluntarily (not knowing he was HIV+).  Otherwise, wouldn't you have worded that a man was being charged with raping women while HIV+.  \n\nWomen in general should be required the meet the same standards as men, but should it matter if she's in your neighbourhood?  Just keep your kids away from strange ladies and you shouldn't have a problem.

OH MOST DEFINITELY!! if he didnt want to cheat, he wouldnt have drunk. and he would not have put himself in that situation. the only way having sex with someone is not cheating is if it was rape.

I am sure they have, BUT 90% of rapes in the US are within the same race. IE:  Black men tend to rape black women and white men tend to rape white women.

I believe once a sex offender always a sex offender.\nIf I had a sex offender living on my street I would want to know about it and I think the neighbours should be very aware of this person as well.  It is unfortunate that they will never be trusted again but they should have thought of that before they did the act.

The justice system is so royally screwed up that I sometimes wonder if we might even be better off without one at all.\n\nAs someone who was abused by a sexual offender in the past, I would love to know why the accused offenders are getting more sympathy than the victims? That's no different than how the system currently works. Some officials won't believe a kid no matter what they say so the offender is never tried for their crimes and continues to do it.

One of the things involved is exerting ones will over another . Debasement and humiliation is also key.True power is derived from helping someone in need of help.Rape is simply the art of taking something that is meant to be beautiful and, turning it into something ugly. Power no, sexual depravity yes.

In most cases...I totally agree. I do believe there are some crimes that don't fit in that catagory. \nIf someone molested my child and my husband went after that person and killed him....I do NOT believe that he should get the same. I believe that the justice system is so messed up its unbelievable.\n\nRight here...locally...a man shook his 4 month old baby boy (there was a twin sister)shook him so hard it killed him.....2 years later...he is sentenced to 5 years. Thats when I believe in your therory. That man should be put in general population and have it announced over the intercom system what he is in for.\n\nI believe any act of crime against a child should be a maximum penalty.....bar none.....why does this criminals rights get taken into consideration.....The child will suffer and remember what ever happened for the rest of their life.....if they are alive. And we worry about the rights of the criminal.....I have to wonder..if a judges child has ever been a victim....would it change their beliefs?\n\nOK..Sorry...this really hit home for me....very good question !!!

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.

Rapist are the lowest scum of the earth. If they all died a gruesome, horrid death over the period of days, it would be too good for them.

I've dated a rapist, a player, and a youth pastor that preys on young girls(before I even knew that these guys were)\n\nYou call them jerks?  I'd say so.  By the way I didn't technically date the youth pastor...long complicated story and the rapist is in jail because I put him in there haha!

yeah, but answer this....if a woman was raped, should she be forced to give birth to the child of her rapist and have that constant reminder? that is the truly sick thing in this situation. and even if it was just a highschool girl who did an irresponsible thing.....why ruin her life AND the life of her unborn child?? i am totally and completely prochoice, and believe that abortion should absolutely be legalized.

Well, the victim still lives with the full impact of the crime.  A woman who was raped doesn't suddenly become "unraped" and only assaulted, she still has to live with the results of the actual crime.  A person who was shot during a robbery does not suddenly have the bullet hole close and all the damage undone just because the scum criminal got his charges reduced.\n\nSo, instead of sitting and whining that there still is a record of what you did, just be glad you got off way easier than your victim(s) did.
