Comment: Alaska has a child rape problem. The legislature has a problem with passing legislation that enables and emboldens child rapists. 

I gotta ask, who is the lobbyist advocating for leniency for child rapists and what are they offering legislators in return for "letters of support" and new laws restricting the educational programs and outreach public schools can provide victims of child rape?

Bill Allen was a child rapist. And he was the most popular guy in Anchorage AND Juneau at the height of his power. 

Maybe the oil companies who laundered money through Bill should consider atoning for that sin by throwing a whole bunch of money at stricter punishment for child rapists and effective intervention for victims. There won't be any "new" oil production so maybe they can move the needle on Alaska's appealing child sexual abuse statistics instead.
