In India there was huge outrage about the rape of a young student last year. The public was furious, news outlets didn’t let the story die, the political system had to get on its feet, the perpetrators were arrested and less than a year down the line all 5 accused have been sentenced to a death penalty.
Justice done!
In US – Montana, a teacher raped a minor student. The teacher has been released from a Montana prison after completing a 30-day sentence for rape handed down by a judge.
Fifty-four-year-old Stacey Rambold left the Montana State Prison on Thursday after completing his term for the 2007 rape of Cherice Moralez.
The judge said at the sentencing hearing that Moralez seemed "older than her chronological age."
The girl committed suicide in 2010 before case went to trial.
There is no public support for this poor girls family, the mother is a lone warrior appearing on CNN from time to time. The media too uses the story to bump up the ratings!
These are two stories of two rapes! I fully understand that India is probably the worst place for a woman to be in terms of safety. But when it comes to prosecuting the culprits the US is not ideal either.
