I can't even stand to think about it. I had a niece who was raped when she was fourteen by a neighbor. They refused to prosecute because he was already going to go to jail for drugs.

Additionally, sexually aggressive offenses are sometimes plea-bargained down to an offense that does not meet the criteria for inclusion on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry...
It almost makes you wonder if the people in charge try to sweep as many of these under the rug as possible so as not to be pressured into doing something about it.

That's wonderful to hear that she finally found normalcy. What a tragedy that so many young people have to try to come to grips with these horrible events that have happened to them.Sheromom said:My niece sure had a hard time for a long time; even started taking drugs. But she came out of it strong in the end and is happily married with two little boys and a daughter.![]()
