Most rape cases that come before the courts where victims - both female and male - have been subjected to the most shocking and brutal treatment by their rapists go unreported by the mainstream media.

Silentcorner wrote: » Who are you to dictate what nonsense illogical posts are? What gives you that right? Everybody involved in the assistance of rape victims is lobbying for legal assistance for victims in rape trials... I am not and have not suggested infringing of the rights of the accused. I have given an explanation and an example of how a victim could benefit from legal assistance. The question you need to ask yourself is, what problem do you have locking up rapists?
