regardless of how he has treated you, your actions are wrong, and possibly opens you up to a slander law suit.

The only problem with this idea is; this guy raped an unconscious girl, a stranger. This was not a date rape where the two got drunk, and he went too far. This was an animal raping a girl who did nothing to encourage him, and he violated her in an unspeakable manner. Sometimes prison is used to...

I believe it is possible that he can get a stiffer sentence. No, the same judge would not hear the appeal. The appeal would go to the appellate court. What grounds? I don't know. It was just stated that the defendant (father) would appeal the case.

Let him appeal, perhaps the appellate judge will decide a stiffer sentence is needed.

I personally think it is insulting to the girl who was raped. She will, most likely, not ever read this thread, but it is about the injustice she suffered, and should not be minimalized by turning it into a Presidential political statement.

Why are you turning this thread a diatribe about a Presidental candidate?

I find it to be an outrage that a young woman is subjected to "20 minutes of action" and the animal who did this gets away with a slap on the wrist. Our justice system is in a sorry state. We need to remind the judges that it is, indeed, called the justice system. It is where citizens are...

I don't personally think staying in the military would have made a difference. PTSD is something that can lie dormant for years before raising up and wrecking your life. Sooner or later it would hit you, and you would have to deal with it, whether you were active or not.

I well understand the feelings of being bullied. We do our best to respect one another here. This is not a perfect site, but there are a lot of good people here. I hope you feel like you fit in.

Any thoughts of what might have happened if you had reported him is just a theory. You could come up with endless scenarios, some good some bad. For example: If you had reported him, he could have been convicted, and gone to prison. Or you could have reported him, the police investigated...

Just given the NYT attempt at doing a hatchet job on Trump makes me question anything they print. Regarding China: Several years ago Rich DeVos ran for governor of Michigan. A criticism raised against him was that he (Amway) built a factory in China, instead of producing the goods in Ada...

Like a thousand times. I am glad he is better, please give him my best.

In the original post by the op it was inferred that Trump would impose tariffs if elected. I do pay a lot of attention to politics and I have never seen, or heard him say that. What he has said is we will make better deals with the other countries. He is absolutely correct that the other...

As you know grief is a process. The best thing you can do is be a friend who supports them as they work through the grief. It takes time to heal, and being there during that process is a huge help.

We live close to the island, and enjoy going there. It was a perfect day, other than the smell of horse pee. For those who do not know, automobiles are not allowed on the island, so all freight is delivered by horse and wagon. The tourist get around by either walking, bicycle, or horse and buggy.

My wife and I spent the afternoon on Mackinac Island. If you have seen the Movie "Somewhere in Time" with Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour, this is the island it was filmed on.

@Elzi we welcome you as a guest, and hope you will consider becoming a member.

It would be fair to tell her that inviting him back into her life is a form of self-destruction, and you cannot stand by and watch that.

No I did not take over. The reason for my post is simple; the OP is a guest and not a member. The Op may, or may not have ever come to the forum and replied. I wanted to see if they would reply, they did, and they answered some of the questions.

I just am hoping the op will come back and respond.

To all who are posting on this topic: I suggest we all wait to see if the op comes back and actual reads, then responds to what has been written.

@joeylittle You are absolutely right, men are also sexually assaulted. And you are also right that the op does not give their gender. I guess for me the wording, plus the statistics regarding sexual assault put female in my mind. So all people should not get so drunk they pass out, because it...

@EveHarrington The OP did clearly state that her "friend" was well aware she didn't want sexual contact with him. I did not black and white your response, and I had read all of it, so I know you agreed that it was rape. I only addressed the single statement of her getting in his bed and...
