[net.women] clipping service -- rape

smb@ulysses.UUCP (Steven Bellovin) (09/04/84)

First, for those who think that rape is a sex crime, a 4-year-old girl was
raped over the weekend in N.Y.  The police say that the same person attempted
to abduct a 15-year-old and a woman (age unspecififed) earlier in the day.
Those two attempts failed, so he grabbed a child on the street.  Clearly, she
was leading him on...

In Florida, a man was convicted of raping his wife while they were still
living together.  They had had an argument; she claims that he grabbed her,
tied her to the bed, and raped her.  He claims that it was a consensual act.
The jury took only two hours to rule against him.

Two hours?  What took them so long?
