Anti-rape condom?

[tld221]

what is the sentence for being convicted on rape charges? how many years does it get?

i know there are quite a few jobs/careers you wont be able to pursue with that on your record, but if said rapist is found guilty (which i take it to be not so much), are those his only consequences: jail time, being denied certain jobs, and being on a sex offender registry?

and what happens if a woman loses a trial, in that she lied about the rape (and that it never happened, cause we know cases like this do happen). is there a consequence for her, aside from looking like an ass? is she just charged with purgery (sp)?

Because he says she consented and she says she didn't. Semen is proof of intercourse, not proof of rape. And say they're both drunk off their asses, who was raped? The aggressor? Both of them?

Sentences vary a LOT depending on what state you're in and the type of offense and prior history. I'm pretty sure Probation is potentially an option in some areas, mandated therapy can be done in conjunction with jail time.

Most people are reluctant to charge an alleged rape victim with perjury because it IS possible it happened but couldn't be proved. But it's becoming more common if it's clear she lied.

He shouldn't have been drunk. He should have been more responsible. Her too. Plus, they can tell if there was forced penetration. I just think things should be cut and dry, black and white. None of this grey area stuff. I would suck as an attorney.

I have a gut feeling that someone is going to find a way to sue over this new device.

ok here's me trying to bring this convo full circle, since this thread is being claimed as a "train wreck"

the purpose of the woman who created this product seemed to have this is mind - making the woman a little more "responsible" for being in a situation where she may be raped. thing is, ANY time is the time for a woman to be taken advantage of and furthermore its not like a woman is 100% helpless in said scenario. like its been mentioned, its never a woman's fault that she is raped but she CAN take preventative measures to minimize the chances of it happening. that doesn't mean "hey go ahead and walk down that dark alley half-tipsy with fishnets and a short skirt with that sketchy guy you met at the bar" but it does mean "sure you can wear that skirt if you want but understand the kind of attention (warranted or not) you will attract. and sure, go home with that guy, but think long and hard first - is this something youre gonna regret in the morning? does this guy pose a risk to my safety? do i have a plan B if something goes down that i dont like?"

now does living in a continuous state of paranoia and wearing a plastic d*ck clamp (which i see as an emotional and physical hassle, as well as a potential health risk, thought the site says there arent any and a financial burden, as it can get costly) everyday solve the problem of the hundreds of rapes that happen on a daily basis? hell no. does it attempt to give some power to the women who are caught in this scenario? yes. does it do it well? not so much.

Not because of anything you said, lol.
