A little bit of history

This is her story, but not a unique story. Over 15 years ago, a woman I know very well was violently raped in her home by a serial rapist. He broke into her house in the early hours while she was taking a shower. Three years later the rapist was finally arrested. At the trial the woman was portrayed as a "loose" unstable woman going through a divorce. The jury was convinced that they had consensual sex. This was the farthest from the truth. Although there were police reports and the evidence was clear, the jury believed this stereotypical portrayal and the rapist was charged as not guilty. Although he raped many women most of them were too afraid to come forward. Fortunately, there was one last trial and the jury convicted him to life in prison.
This is one story, but not a unique story.

The cycle must be broken.
