Cosby Sentence

[Bob Kelso]

I remember the post, and I responded to it. I'm really fucking tired of rape being nullified if a victim talks to their abuser after the fact. Like, do kids whose parents kick their asses all of a sudden have no claim to abuse because they continue a relationship with them?

You're comparing apples and oranges.

Kids have no choice in having to deal with family members.

I see no reason why grown ass adult who was raped by someone she was acquainted with would continue to contact this person after the fact, especially every valentines day. That's seems to be behavior consistent with a consensual relationship.

If not then how else do you expect one to prove consent 18 years after the fact?

Hugster, as a kid who was emotionally and physically abused I can say you obviously have no clue what you’re talking about.

I attempted to keep contact with the person responsible for my abuse well into my “reasonable” adult years, for reasons I can barely articulate. I eventually ended that relationship, to my betterment.

You are not taking emotion and trauma into account. You cannot know the mind of the people you’re talking about, but by all means continue the peanut gallery conversation you’re having with yourself.
