He was training to be a gynecologist, so definitely would rape again. Don’t wish for him to have another victim but sounds like a second offense gets him a sentence for the first one as well.

His training to be a gynecologist is irrelevant. Please do not propagate the myth that men go into gynecology to take advantage of women. If he's a rapist, that's independent.

I remember an officer in the USCG accused of rape while I worked as a welder on base. Guy had to paint the fire lane on curbs for a month while his superiors quietly hushed up the incident so as to not disturb the guys advancement prospects (he was the kid of some higher rank admin).

I'm sure that taught him a lesson

At getting away with rape.

This truly is a prison planet.

If we are going to be ol fashioned then we are going to be ol fashioned.... If there is no justice we will go and find justice. We're even seeing this with the likes of Saint Luigi. People just don't understand history. FAFO

And his victim wasn't also young and talented? Are they concerned about how the victim will go on when this fucker walks back on campus?
