Below is a video a 16-year-old girl by the name of Crystal Shinkle claiming that her state won't help her convict her now ex-boyfriend of raping her.
She tearfully demands justice from the faceless masses of the Internet, much like many have done before her exclaiming over and over that her governor and any of the higher-ups in her justice system have turned a deaf ear to her with the only person she claims giving a damn about her is her father (whom she says hasn't known her for 14 of the 16 years of her life). Let's watch (this is actually a copy someone made of it, because Crystal has since taken the original down): So... what's so funny about that. I'm not laughing, but many on YouTube and in various blogs, message boards, and even people at the Smoking Gun are. Her case was thrown out as consensual sex. On 20 separate occasions. Here is one of many videos that has appeared on YouTube to mock her (the text it's pulling from is her own recollection of what happened. I'm not sure which testimony it is, be it police or in court, but it is what she had to say of the alleged rapes) This particular video is actually one of the more polite ones you'll find: The alleged victim was drinking and using various narcotics knowingly and several times in her testimony acknowledges that she was coherent enough to give her consent, which she did give. Her state's age of consent is 16, though she was 15 at the time, she was a month from her 16th birthday so the courts have decided not to find Casey Mundling guilty of statutory. Article about this on CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/05/15/rape.online/index.html I really don't know what to say. The college I was going to had the occasional problem with rapes during the early morning classes (between 5 and 6 a.m.) and it was really pissing me off when I would hear at my newspaper that the victim was told not to report the crime. Supposedly the police were trying to be sensitive for her and claimed that reporting the crime would only drag it out. Not reporting the crime also means they don't have to add it to their crime stats and thus they can continue to tell people that our campus is 100% safe because they've prevented this sort of shit from happening. Some students sleep better at night if they just tell themselves these girls are crying rape fr attention. I especially hate when people blame the victim in cases of rape and say she brought it on herself by how she dressed and so on. Like this vicious cycle can continue because women shouldn't feel free to dress how they choose. But this... this makes me upset. Granted supposedly only 2% of alleged rape victims are lying about their incident, but it's bullshit like "He didn't want to date me any more so I just wanted him to feel the same pain I was feeling and I called in the justice system on his ass" that makes it so people don't believe those who've actually been taken advantage of or raped. I hate when people treat rape like a joke. It's a devastating thing that can ruin a person's psyche. (Last edited by Rogue on 06-24-08 01:13 PM) |
