There has to be reform in the police and HR departments before we can get rape victims to utilize those channels to report sexual assault. Until then, it's public pressure through the media, which I understand people don't like. Instead of obsessing over the statute of limitations for when victims report, why not focus on fixing the issues in the system, ie a time limit for the police testing of rape kits? It should be very clear by now that the proper channels are failures, and victims are desperate for workarounds.

Making a complaint through the "proper" channels has led to psychological damage though. The cops treat rape victims like they're the rapists, and they're ostracized from their communities. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/21/three-quarters-of-survivors-say-police-response-damaged-their-mental-health

Okay, I agree that words and facts should be as accurate as possible when discussing this. There are calls in this thread to just bring it to the police or HR instead of the media when that doesn't work; bringing public pressure into situations may just be the route to get the police and HR to listen. Ronan Farrow's book on Weinstein (and others) details what happens when someone tries to report.

I didn't say it was pedophilia; I was correcting the rewritten history about him which I don't blame people for but really downplays what was happening. There's much more going on than just an age of consent situation. I hear "it's not pedophilia; it's ephebophilia" all the time; I know the distinction. As I worked with many people at those respective universities, they made sure we all knew that. That was part of the cover-up. It's a horrible work environment, to put it lightly.

The Epstein case is far more disturbing than the explanations laid out above. Epstein's victims were not all 17+; they included those between the ages of 12 and 16. He was convicted as a level 3 sex offender meaning likelihood of re-offending in a dangerous way were high. Instead of prison, he was in a minimum-security facility for about 3 months and then he was on "house arrest" for which he could leave to go to "work" for 12 hours a day. Post conviction, he was allowed unlimited access to the campuses of Harvard and MIT, given a key card and passcode after hours; this gave him access to young women and the ability to fund his eugenics projects. One of the hugest scandals involving his case was that no one with the power to do so was willing to punish or stop him. It was the Miami Herald that did an investigative report and the public responded with outrage.

It's been 100 years since country legend Hank Williams' birth. He died at age 29.
