20 Minutes of Action

I don't know if you heard about the rape case where the man got a lenient sentence and his father went on about not ruining his life over 20 minutes of action.  What if he had killed someone?  Would he have given the same speech?  I think it is ridiculous when these people stand behind their children when they commit heinous crimes.  I have all daughters.  If it would have been one of my girls, I would have wanted him to go to jail and rot.  For some reason, in US society, we don't have much problem with sex crimes.  Especially when it comes to college.  We just blame the victim and honor the perpetrator.  I hope I can educate my daughters before they leave the house.
