I am glad to hear that rapists are getting proscecuted in Sierra Leone. I found this site while looking up information on a term paper based on war and rape in the DRC. If only more countries jailed the “bad guys” instead of letting them walk away…

This was an inspiring story. Often times across the world their are many injustices that go unpunished. I often say that I am not a judge I am only a witness. However there are times when what we witness bears truth for itself. When the facts are plain the facts are plain. Sexual Assault is rampant in our own country. How often do we hear of young women not even in double digits, that are molested by step parents, friends of parents, siblings friends, their own boyfriends. Its digusting. Its unnerving, because this is not a new thing. Its something that has been kept under wraps for many generations. I’m glad people still fight for what’s right. Where have all the cowboys gone?

It is high time that these men were made to suffer for their sins. Men have gotten away for too many years–even centuries–for violence against women and this is a beginning in the right direction–to make men pay for their crimes.
