Civil suits do not mean the person is just out for money all the time. Sometimes money is the only thing people understand and perhaps 10 days in jail and 50 hours community service did not communicate to these men that what they did was wrong. In order for our system to work criminals must have a fear of getting caught and the possible punishment that is greater than the possible rewards of that crime. And I said possible rewards, meaning that just because those rewards didn't happen because she caught them shouldn't mean they shouldn't be held responsible for what they did.
We don't know what they were planning on doing with the tape. We don't know if this women was the first or would have been the last. If it were me, I would sue to make sure I was the last and that other men would be deterred from doing it to anyone else.
And this is not the first time people found florida sex crime laws unjust.
