Perhaps it would be a good idea for men to start secretly video taping encounters, so they too have evidence later that it wasn't a rape at all.- moantauk, on 05/15/2008, -2/+0Serial killer.

Sure, there is potential in anything for abuse, but it's not so common when it comes to being a rape victim
Many women are too frightened of having to face their abuser in person after the trauma, as well as being drug through attacks on their own persona, which is why they often do not report it.
After time has passed when they've learned to deal with it, they may change their minds, saving countless other victims the same fate. - dagorret, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1It seems to me very well.
The social issue, but the criminal act, it is very traumatic.
And we need to find ways of "humiliation" administrative obtaculise not the judicial process.
In all these cases, the "victim" has 90% of the evidence in his body and foremost in his mind.
