Interesting concept to say the least! Can't believe it has been in existance since 2006. I want to know what the success rate of such a device...which wasn't mentioned on the website.
I wonder why we haven't heard about this until now.
Because that device originates from South Africa, which is pretty much the rape capital of the world.
"The RAPEX prototype was launched on 31 August 2005, at Kleinmond, Cape Province, South Africa."

Yes, it punishes the criminal but the guy can still say she set him up. She even addresses this issue in the Frequently Asked Questions section. I think it creates more fear of being raped. I just don't like the idea and yes I have reasons and statistics if anyone needs them.

You just took a rapist and hurt him bad enough to piss him off more but not necessarily enough to incapacitate him so he can't hurt you worse. Uh uh. Bad idea.
I agree with you both.
I'd hate to say this, but this would give many young women one more excuse not to take personal safety precautions.
