Those I love are dealing with something and I could use some opinions if you don't have answers.
A lot of rapists are not charged. Either the victim or the state decide not to.
Now suppose there is a young man who is in an organization that attracts a lot of teenage girls. Suppose he raped one and wasn't charged. Suppose the victim is humiliated and wants to keep it secret.
People gossip. They always have and always will. We gossipped 100,000 years ago about the lions and tigers that lived up the path in the thicket. Gossip is a survival tool. The registry is a form of structured gossip.
I have a lot of hurting people around me right now. Confused too. I'm one of them but I chose this damned subject to be interested in and deserve everything I get. No one, me included, chose to have this thing happen and I'm watching two families and a really close friend group come apart at the seams.

I have some questions or requests.

1. Tell me about the humiliation part of being a victim and tell me about secrets. Are they good for the victim or bad or somewhere in the middle?

2. Why does a victim seem unapproachable do they now distrust everyone?

3. How are we obligated to protect his next victim from walking blindly into his trap? How do we balance that with the choices of the current victim?

I don't know what's right and wrong here anymore. Things are so tangled that anyone taking a step here steps on someone they didn't intend to.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
