My guess would be that the woman who got raped (and all the future women who would get raped by this guy) don’t give a damn about all the soul searching over legal niceties.
I’m certain you’re correct. Having never been a victim of a crime other than a robbery when I wasn’t home, I can’t imagine what she’s felt all these years...though it can’t have been a good, safe feeling.
After we were robbed, I felt that my HOME had been violated, but a wise cop told me that I had no need to be afraid; the perp just wanted things in my home that he could fence for drugs; it wasn’t anything personal.
