It is not a single crime when a child is photographed while sexually assaulted (raped.) It is a life time crime that should have life time punishments attached to it. If the surviving child is, more often than not, going to suffer for life for the crime(s) committed against them, shouldn't the pedophiles suffer just as long? If it often takes decades for survivors to come to terms with exactly how much damage was caused to them, why are there time limits for prosecution? .Sierra D. Waters
About This Quote
Rape is a crime that is very serious. Children are sexualized at a very young age. They are being groomed for sexual activity, which is clearly criminal behavior. The photographs are the worst part of the crime, in my opinion.
The photo has been used to blackmail the family of the victim, or to harass or intimidate the victim in some way. It gives the pedophile the satisfaction of knowing that they have done something that will affect someone for life. This is not right.
