As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse myself  I feel I have some clout on this subject  My perpetrator was 22.  This kid was 15 and more than likely exposed to some pretty bad stuff as a child himself.  I do feel he still has work to do from a recovery standpoint, but the adolescent brain does not stop forming until the early 20's. He can be rehabilitated.  A few people on this comment section like guestsquared have some personal anger issues they are trying to resolve through this medium which is quite a distraction from the issue of "deservedness".  This girl is a survivor not a victim. and the more we view her as a victim, the more victim posture she can stay in throughout her life.  The only person who should look at her as a victim is LH. "The shit that happens to us that we cannot control is not our fault, BUT it is our responsibility moving forward to better ourselves and make sure it does not happen again." The article was a bad idea for this young girl to deal with, simple.
