I think that maybe letting the victim decide the punishment is too “iffy” ...

You get no disagreement from me there. My only feeling is that allowing victims to make statements to the relevant review boards helps them (i.e., the victims) with their recovery.

But then I do expect rapists to serve more than 18 months.

Hoo-boy, me too. I reread the original article. The sentence was 10 years with all but 18 months suspended. That seems awful light to me.

I don't know. I just don't know.

I can sympathize as well. It's a weird case.

Oh, and by the way, I don't think you're a horrible person. ;-)

I don’t either. Don’t worry, I don’t let strangers define me. I just wasn’t sure of my own opinion and was using this forum to work it out in my own mind.
Thanks though.
