And then turn their victims into prostitutes.
Not quite, but I see your point.
Accepting damages for a harm is rather different from soliciting business.
What amazes me is that the author doesn’t seem to comprehend the idea that rape is a crime against “the King’s Peace,” to go way back in common law. Whether the victim is bribed or intimidated into not pressing charges has absolutely nothing legally to do with whether a crime was committed. In fact, the bribe or intimidation is itself probably a crime.
Civil suits are the appropriate venue for settling personal injuries. Not criminal courts.
