61% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison. [1999 NCVS]
If the rape is reported to police, there is a 50.8% chance that an arrest will be made.
If an arrest is made, there is an 80% chance of prosecution.
If there is a prosecution, there is a 58% chance of a felony conviction.
If there is a felony conviction, there is a 69% chance the convict will spend time in jail.
So, even in the 39% of attacks that are reported to police, there is only a 16.3% chance the rapist will end up in prison.
Factoring in unreported rapes, about 6% of rapists?1 out of 16? will ever spend a day in jail. 15 out of 16 will walk free.
[Probability statistics compiled by NCPA from US Department of Justice statistics. See www.ncpa.org/studies/s229/s229.html]
Decide for yourself if the stats are accurate. I question the validity of the number of unreported rapes. How the hell would they know?
For those of you who have ever even contemplated anything close to rape: Take a day off, and go to your local courthouse. Watch a rape trial. Once you see that poor guy at the defense table, sweating his b*lls off in front of 12 angry jurors, you will quickly realize that you will NEVER EVER want to be in his position.
I saw a date rape trial where the accused claimed that:
1. It was consensual sex (of course), and
2. the woman said that she'd scream "Rape!" if he left her. He left her.
The jury rendered a verdict of innocent. That guy probably pissed his pants when they announced the verdict.
