Even separate from trump supporter death threats, it takes significant corroboration of evidence and perseverance of the victim for a successful prosecution of a sexual assault perpetrator. It's sad that the majority of sexual assaults are not even reported, let alone prosecuted. Hopefully the unnamed victims will be able to find vicarious justice in the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell.
And with this type of crime, it will be a long time before restorative justice becomes the norm.
I don't even know what restorative justice could be in the case of rape. It's bad when it happens, then every time it's talked about it's bad all over again. The only appropriate punishment I've ever seen was in a science fiction story, where the perpetrator was condemned to relive the assault from the point of view of the victim, over and over. In that story, the perp had not known it was wrong, so if he ever realized how wrong he had been, the spell would release him.
Yes, the victim dropped the charges after constant death threats from Trump supporters.
Can't leave this with a little "like" heart.
