Life sentence for rape? Opinion? No jokes please.
A definite Yes here, BUT with the proviso THAT such a rape has been proven conclusively and BEYOND any shadow of a doubt.
There have been innumerable cases of screaming 'Rape' when later proven to be false accusations and an innocent has been imprisoned falsely.
With all of the advances in Forensic and Medical Sciences these days surely it cannot be all that difficult to prove or disprove that an actual Rape claim is based upon a FACT.
You are aware that some sexual predators do wear condoms, right? As in, no DNA?
And I'm sure you are also aware that GHB and rohypnol are tasteless, odorless, and leave the victim with no memory? And that they are undetectable in the urine and blood the next day? You can capitalize the word fact all you like, but evidence is often not as plentiful as you suggest.
What does with exception mean? Rape is never cool! If with 100% certianty someone raped a child, definately.
@bendog you asked for an opinion! I told you mine, don't tell me i have the wrong answer. If you already did, why in the fuck are you asking!?
