Outsider - you statement here brought one word to mind.. idiot. I am a survivor of sexual assault for years by a female family member. How dare you describe this as "non-violent". IT IS violent in the most intimate way. You have no clue what it's like to live never knowing when the next attack will come, knowing you can't defend yourself against it, living with the thought you are helpless because they have convinced you, the threats they have made will come true if you talk! The pain doesn't end when the attack is over - it continues every minute of every day, long after the pos has been outed/charged/jailed. So for you to make such a statement and to top it with they shouldn't be given long prison sentences just reiterates my initial thought. Idiot. Get educated before you go speaking out against something you have no stake in! This brave little girl deserves to know, that at least for the next 25 years, she never has to worry about rounding a corner and coming face to face with him.
