Thread Name: BS: Rape on Reservations
Subject: RE: BS: Rape on Reservations
The report cited one instance when the woman was raped and the rapist was hiding in her closet. Local, Federal and Native law officers were on the site but no one could figure out who had jurisdiction so they stood outside argunig over who could or should go in. This came from an eyewitness account of the Victim's Rights rep who was called to the scene when the rape was reported.
I just don't get it. Rapists are ignored. Do they not return to the general population and pose a threat? Shouldn't that alone force a legal response?
