Comment: I will be respectful..outsider....  it's your mindset of "it's issues like this one..."  - implying this is just one of many offenses that are of the same level of severity..  it is sexual assault - it is almost uniquely horrible.  it's not a possession that has been taken or broken...it's not a name called...nothing the victim has done to bring it on. I don't know if the man is guilty or innocent - I do know that the legal system is very careful to not make an allegation or charge without  pretty solid cause in a sexual assault case -   especially involving a minor.  it is not taken lightly as it is so known what just the allegations themselves can do to a person, rightly or  wrongly accused,   what so you think the conviction rate is in these cases?  I can't find any stats besides the re-offenders....
  I feel you group this type of crime in with ...theft?.....non sexual assault....?  gee, oops , we got together and things got out of hand kinds of crimes?
