Teen Rape Victim Detained - TYT Supreme Court

Via ABC News/AP: "Prosecutors have taken the unusual step of detaining an alleged teenage rape victim who has a history of running away, saying she is a key witness against a man prosecutors say is a career criminal and serial rapist.

Victims' rights advocates are joining the 17-year-old foster child's attorneys in arguing that her detention, upheld three times by two superior court judges, could discourage other victims from reporting sexual assaults...".* Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Jesus Godoy break it down TYT (The Young Turks) Supreme Court style.

It's a common term used, get over it. Rape can have lethal consequences. As I stated before you'd understand if you knew what it was like to be a victim.

What's worse is that there is no mention made in the FBI's new definition of rape that includes envelopment of the penis.

So as much as I agree with your sentiment, I'm pretty sure a woman raping a man is only considered sexual assault in America.

[Minkki82]

the thing I hate about tyt's rape stories is they ALWAYS assume guilty before proven innocent and not the other way around.

WTF???



[Mazzmaker69]

Wow...

Defending some unimportant right of a man accused of rape. You do realize that you're putting a rapist before a woman that got raped,right?

[Breerox108]

lol, they are doing that in most videos.

[Mazzmaker69]

Goddamn,America is turning more and more into a fundamentalist Islamic nation. Now,America is punishing rape victims for getting raped.

Amazing....

Has that happened to you? Or do you know of any cases were this has occurred. If you don't mind can you please tell me how you know about those type's of specific situations. I do not mean any disrespect I honestly want to know; because is sound like you are interested or at the very least aware of some very visceral stuff.

[Kinatakins]

Ana, that lipcolor is not flattering.

more reason to castrate him with a hammer and put in prison for life, the truth needs to be found ,, i do under stand , and know , what rape victims go through , i also know about those crazy bitches who will call the cops or any one they can just to show you , your not going to ... or that you are going to ... what ever ,, but eather way ,, once the accusation has been made .. the TRUTH MUST BE FOUND , not legal loop holes for eather side . it is a touchy subject , each case is diff ,

[fester01]
