Re: Authorities JAIL Teen Rape Victim To Ensure She Will Attend Trial - April 11th 2012, 02:03 PM

I agree. This is ridiculous! Putting the VICTIM (which I'm sure is already terribly traumatized) in jail just because she's a VICTIM makes no sense, and the article says she has the right to refuse to testify [which I'm rather sure is true]. I'd like to know what state law says rape victims can be jailed for being a rape victim to force them to testify in court. I want the criminal to be punished too, but not at the expense of further traumatizing and violating the rights of his victim.
