1 in 5 women get raped?

Only 8 states have no statute of limitations on sexual assaults

Indiana is among just seven states with a statute of limitations of five years or less for filing rape charges. In 11 states, the statute of limitations is from six to 9 years. In 12 others, it ranges from 10 to 20 years. And 20 states have no limit at all.

Anita Carpenter, CEO of the Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Assault, said 'there has been no real outcry about the five-year limit on rape charges.

“The only thing we’ve been having discussion on, and they have been very preliminary, is eliminating the statute of limitation for child sex abuse cases because children are often afraid to come forward,” she said....

Kansas lawmakers took up the topic in 2013 and eliminated the state’s five-year statute of limitations for rape.

The change was driven by dramatic victim testimony, said Joyce Grover, executive director of the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.

“There was this feeling that there were a lot of rapists out there that had not been apprehended and that they would never be held accountable,” she said of opposition to the five-year limit.

Grover said the widespread collection of DNA evidence also contributed to the change....

Despite the alleged attack, Tarshis accepted an invitation days later to attend a performance Cosby gave at The Westbury Music Theater on Long Island. She said Cosby plied her with more alcohol.

“The next thing I remember was waking up in his (hotel) bed naked,” she wrote. “I remember thinking, ‘You old s---,’ I guess you got me this time, but it’s the last time you’ll ever see me.”

I personally don't understand why child molesters serve so little time only to get out and do the same again.

It is a more or a less a perverted bracket exploiting children to be on those magazines and men or women who buy them contribute to it by fulfilling the profit margin when they buy them or look at them.

It is exploiting children. Period. The people who promote are guilty and the ones who are customers are guilty and both should be criminalized to the fullest extent.

customers are guilty and both should be criminalized to the fullest extent.

BTW: I have in the last year seen more child porn than I had seen in over a decade, on Tumblr.

The ones making them wouldn't be making them if no one was going to look at them, unless the one making them also looks at them, in which case that person would be doubly guilty.

If you want to avoid crossing the line into rape, you must be sure you have consent.

Mr Rhodes said it was not surprising that almost all victims were found to have been drinking, as date rape drugs had far more effect on victims when combined with alcohol.

The latest findings echo the results from Forensic Science Service report last year which concluded that alcohol was 'clearly the most commonly used substance' in drug-assisted rape.

Recent legal reforms were designed to secure more rape convictions by making it clear that a drunk person cannot consent to sex.

But juries still appear less willing to convict in cases where the victim was drunk, and offenders know they are more likely to escape justice.

Out of 120 claimed cases, 119 of the victims had reportedly been drinking.

Blood tests confirmed the presence of alcohol in half of all cases - although some were reported several days after the incident.

Things fired up further when other women, like game developer Brianna Wu, came out in support of Ms Quinn, the woman at the centre of this revenge attack.




They threatened to murder any of my children that I might have because they would grow up to, you know, want women to be equal.

Ms Wu said she was harassed and abused online.

"They threatened to murder me, to rape me," she said.

"They threatened to sever my husband's genitals and choke me to death with them.

"They threatened to murder any of my children that I might have because they would grow up to, you know, want women to be equal."

Ms Wu was forced to flee her home after her personal details and address were posted online in an attack known as "doxxing".

American actor and video gamer, Felicia Day, who is known for her roles in sci-fi series Supernatural and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, was also doxxed just minutes after speaking publicly about GamerGate.

In all your years on the internet have you ever come across anything relating to child pornography. Hawkeye has, and he's noticed an increase in the amount available, and seems to know quite a lot about its provenance.

A fast google search of trumblr and child porn came up with 19 millions hits of cases of people placing such material on trumblr that anyone could come across, and trumblr is not alone as facebook and twitter also have that problem.

Only people like you do fast google searches for child pornography. If you don't go looking for it you don't find it.
