It's an under-reported crime. I can't imagine women would be inclined to go through the ordeal of pressing charges for the fact that she agreed to have sex while mildly intoxicated and then later had morning-after regrets. I only hear about technicalities being pursued when homophobic parents find out their 17 year old had sex with their 19 year old same gender partner.
I can certainly imagine that. I was a victim of being falsely accussed of rape, just I got lucky in that no one took my Ex-Fiance seriously enough to do anything about it.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Personally I'm against rape, at least when it is addressed to me. I admit I haven;t read any posts here yet. But my views are clear and not open to debate. So put them away boys.

If we did that suddenly there would be a lot less Northern Irish politicans, no joke.

I'm not seeing the downside to there being fewer politicians of any stripe. Particularly if they were previously bomb techs.

Does he also admit to planting a bomb that killed civilians?

Ah, well, more work is required, eh? Just being a member of two opposed military forces is not enough to condemn a person after the fact of a particular crime, after an accord, after amnesty. Though, obviously, not all who feel that they have received amnesty actually -have-

Yea, I have heard of these letters but I don't know alot. But if some people are punished and others are not, for similar crimes, there is a flaw.

Justice systems are limited. Not all who have committed a crime will be prosecuted for a crime, and not all that are prosecuted will be convicted. It sucks, but a potential alternative may be worse.
