Now, I am thoroughly disgusted. I am disgusted because I don't think a woman should not be forced to interact with her rapist for the rest of her life. Moreover, I don't think a child should be, even partially, raised by someone so disgusting and who has an inherently toxic relationship with them and their mother.[In] the vast majority of states -- 31 -- men who father through rape are able to assert the same custody and visitation rights to their children that other fathers enjoy.

Do you agree or disagree?
Absolutely and unequivocally no freaking way.
Yet the woman in the article fought that for years. You would think it would be no-brainer.
I can imagine it would almost be impossible for a woman to fight a custody battle if she were date/acquaintance raped or if she didn't want the trauma of going to court.
May be traumatizing, but, nothing trumps keeping the child safe and away from the father.

Hm, I hadn't thought of statutory rape in the context of a 18/17 year old couple or something similar. With that in mind, I think it would be best if rapists were not allowed any visitation or custody rights unless the mother petitions the court and judge accepts her reason for wanting the father to have rights.There's always the 18 year old male and the 17 year old female and vice versa.

Yep, there are actually a couple cases of men who had sex with their 16/17 year old girlfriends when they were 18/19 who ended up being severely beaten up or killed by vigilantes who saw their names on a sex offender list. That alone was enough to convince me that sex offender classifications and registries need reform.Yeah, I would think a woman who had willing sex with a guy who just happens to be "illegal" due to age laws would be far more inclined. But I think it's insane that we classify that as rape to begin with (assuming there are no other factors in play). Decent people wind up on the sex offender list for having a partner who's a year or two younger than they are, or even for streaking in their young and crazy days.

Statutory is such a technicality, while I agree to an extent that it's there to protect younger people from predators it can be misused. The whole concept of it is based upon the age being not one where a person has the "ability to consent", to me that's a gray area. Forcible and drug rape are definitely a no to parental rights.Yeah, I would think a woman who had willing sex with a guy who just happens to be "illegal" due to age laws would be far more inclined.
