As a victim of date rape when I was in my 20's, I can assure you that it is a horrific crime. Especially since I was one of those statistics that never reported the crime. However, I was in my 20's, aware of the world and my body, and not a virgin. As Don Smitty said earlier, I see my 10 year old daughter at play, and the complete and utter violation that a child's rape would entail makes me insane.
That being said, as a survivor of rape, I did recover, and, as horrible as it was, I did go on to marry, have children, etc., all of which couldn't have happened if he had decided to kill me. Murder has to be the worst.
