The act itself is one of the most disgusting and degrading physical exertions of superiority and selfishness that a human being can perform. Not only is the minor physically assaulted, but the psychological damage, extortion of trust, and emotional devastation can wreak havoc on a victim's life for tens of years. The experience can be so traumatizing that a victim actually forgets about the for years and seals it away from their consciousness. (2) Eventually, although potentially never, a triggering event will bring a victim's memories of abuse rushing back into their conscious memory. This phenomenon, although up for great debate in the scientific world, is what is referred to as a repressed memory, and can stand in the way of a victim and their vindication. (3) The law, in general, treats criminal assault very heavy-handedly. A criminal offender found guilty of criminal conduct could have a life sentence imposed. (4) The incarceration served by the guilty offender is only half of the penalty. The social stigma associated with a predator, even after serving his sentence, has been referred to by one judge as infamous. (5) Terms like monster and sexual predator are used to describe offenders, and some people believe they are beyond the realm of reform and rehabilitation. (6) The stigma is so strong that Congress, and, arguably the judiciary, has refused to stand in opposition of laws against sexual that some may deem excessive or abusive (7) The Supreme Court of the United States has held that involuntary confinement for an indefinite period of time, sought by the state, for long-term care and treatment of a predator, part and parcel from any jail sentence served, is constitutional and permissible by law. (8) Sexual offenders are regularly forced to identify themselves on sex offender registries and the federal government requires the Attorney General for each state to maintain such a registry. (9) The registries can contain personal identifying information including the address and the birth date of the offender as well as the offender's conviction, and are freely available to the public via databases and public websites. (10) Criminal sex offenders are punished heavily for their crimes. With predators being so feared, exposed, and loathed among the population, one would think that the civil counterpart to the criminal sentence--the civil judgment--would be obtained easily in cases alleging abuse. However, the civil law seems to take a less aggressive stance towards assault. Absent a slam-dunk-case brought immediately after the incident, civil vindication for the victim is rather difficult to obtain. Highly traumatic abuse scenarios--the ones so horrendous the victim's memories of the attack are repressed for years--encounter an insurmountable obstacle preventing plaintiffs from recovering any compensation or redress for the tragedy they were exposed to: the statute of limitations. …" @default.
