Not really. Rapes are dramatically under-reported, under-prosecuted, and under-sentenced. Only 3% (!) of rapes actually lead to any jail time for the perp. Even when in cases where the victim speaks out and the prosecutor actually tries, there's still enough reasonable doubt most of the time that he walks.Quote:
