This is a powerful, well written opinion piece.  Powerful.  I'm willing to bet that most of the victims profiled in those rape kits are Alaska Native Women.    I'm all for mandatory life sentences for child sex offenders,  rapists, et al.  And for those who are convicted of human trafficking.  I'm all for Alaska as a Zero Tolerance state for sexual abuse where the rights of victims are not negotiable.  Ever.  EVER.   I wonder who is organizing any effort regarding this?  Does anyone know?  Who can be contacted?  I need not remind anyone that  sexual predators are the most practiced, dangerous and deliberate predators known.   Predators never "choose respect."  They choose victims.  And Alaska Legislators.  And candidates.
