Anti-rape condom?

I'm sure that a thread asking people on GC who's been raped and/or sexually assaulted and not reported it would garner quite a few responses.

My question is this? If there is enough evidence DNA and all to convict him, then why should it be his word against hers? It shouldn't. I don't even think he should get a trial at all. Just send him to prison.

You kind of acknowledged my point and then missed it. When there's hard evidence it's much easier to convict (though of course sometimes women and men are extremely vindictive and will decide after consensual sex that they 'changed' their mind.)

If the case is just a testimony, it's more difficult to prosecute. If the DNA is there it's not really a he said she said case anymore.
Also, working with prisoners on a regular basis in my job, I have to come into contact with these assholes all the time. I hate it. Medium security is worse than max because medium will have more child molestors and rapists. This is because they get moved down a level due to good behaviour. We get some real scumbags occasionally. The guards will tell us what's up with each inmate.

centaur, I didn't know you did that for a living. Wow. Do you ever get scared? Do any of the criminals try to hit on you or threaten you?

Ha ha are you the thread monitor now?

PrettyBoy, locking people up for life if they hurt someone else sounds fine and dandy but good luck finding the money or the space for it. Nothing is that simple.

Actually I'm an EMT but we go to the local correctional facilities to get inmates and bring them to hospitals in Boston. Some of the inmates are so nice that you forget that they're in there for a reason, occasionally a really horrible one. I've never been threatened, but I'm pretty sure I've been checked out quite a few times.
