And because the laws need to be changed so when sixty women report rape...it won't be that only ONE is within the statute of limitations.

I don't think there should be a limit.

It's amazing that "fraud" or embezzlement has no SOL but rape in 34 states can be as little as 3 up to 30 years.

Sort of off topic but I just found out that children as young as 12 in some states can marry legally.

I just became aware of that 3 wks ago the mentality here is heartbreaking.

My one experience on the jury for a rape trial convinced me that juries are very flawed. Not sure about better though.

I agree. Our life experiences go into the jury room. Our access to media makes it's hard not to have an opinion before the trial begins.

The number of "she should have fought more" and "well she chose to go to his house" comments shocked me.

It was a bit shocking. Societal viewpoints have become unsettling and true justice is getting harder because of it. It has to get better.

Americans voted for a sexual predator who doesn't pay his bills and that verdict surprised you

Not surprised. I've seen it happen countless times. I'm angry; sad; frustrated... everything in this thread https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/796207183998418945 …

Would you continue to have an ongoing relationship of any kind with the perp if you were raped?

When I was assaulted it was still the "did she ask for it, by the way she was dressed?" They had to rule that out bc I was dressed pretty

Conservatively. Then it was "did she lead him on?" Nope. More than half rape victims know their attacker. There is shame in it, you feel

like damaged goods. The exam is humiliating. The photos, questions. You were already violated, and it feels like it will never end.

You are brave and I hope justice was served. I can tell you, not reporting mine haunts me 10+ yrs later. It was my boyfriend at the time.

You are stronger than you think. Living with it is hard enough. Part of my job helps kids in danger, in that way, I am getting justice.
