Rape Victims and their Rights
A 20-year-old girl accuses her ex-boyfriend of raping her in a drunken rage. However, the prosecutor states that although he believes her story, there is simply not enough evidence to take the accused to trial and have a jury find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The victim turns to a voluntary organization dealing with rape victims. The organization has assigned you the task of providing her with the available options. You need to give her the following details:
The legal rights of victims against perpetrators.
The current research and prevalence of these types of crimes.
The options available to the victim in the civil court.
What are the psychological and financial impacts for victims in this type of situation?
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.
