Recommended: Example of statutory rape

Mr. James Kimball, at 23 years old, was a school bus driver who pursued a 15 year old student he’d known for two years. Eventually their “flirtatious” relationship escalated to a “single-sexual encounter” on or about October 3, 1991. The relationship was brought to light by the parents of the child henceforth urging Mr. Kimball to plead guilty to one count of statutory rape in 1992, where the judge then imposed a withheld judgment with a three year probation. After that, Mr. Kimball was accordingly put on the Sex Offender Registry. Due to the essence of the given facts and case report, the disparity in time from the crime to the present, and the technicality of the psychosexual evaluator’s report, I would not have aired the story on Mr.James Kimball. …show more content…

Kimball engaged in what “appeared to be a consensual” relationship with a minor; meaning that upon information and belief, Mr. Kimball and the minor’s relationship was consensual. This is an important fact when analyzing the gravity of Mr. Kimball’s crime and evaluating the risk he truly poses to society. Additionally, James Kimball committed this crime in 1991, pleaded guilty and complied with his three year probation. His actions during and post-judgment prove that he is fully capable of fulfilling his duty as an atoning citizen in enduring consequences, via his three year probation. Lastly, the only reason that Kimball was still on the Sex Offender Registry is because of the psychosexual evaluator’s technicality deeming him a “low risk” rather than “no risk” to the

In “Crime and Punishment: The saga of Richie Parker” published in Sports Illustrated, Gary Smith helps to explain just how many people are affected by a single sexual assault case. He does this in a very unique style by giving 12 sections explaining the incident from different points of view and the effects of a single crime. One person affected was Jill Agostino, the sports copy editor for Newsday. Her unnamed colleague had given her a copy of an article he was writing on Richie Parker and called asking if she liked it. Little did he know, stories like his were keeping her up at night, reminding her of the time she was raped nine years earlier.

There were claims on the Manton case study that Dixon had prior history of engaging in sexual activity at his high school, which led Dixon to be suspended twice for the prior sexual acts. At the time of this incident, Dixon was 18 years old, and the “victim” was 15 (Manton, 2005). Following this factual information, Dixon at that time claimed that the sexual act was consensual and accused the girl of fabricating the story because of fear of her parents finding out and punishing her for sleeping with a black man (Manton, 2005). Several charges were suggested for Dixon which included: statutory rape, aggravated child molestation, rape, sexual battery, false imprisonment, and aggravated assist (Manton, 2005). Dixon was then acquitted of a majority of the charges and found Dixon guilty of statutory rape and aggravated child molestation (Manton,

According to reports, police already had a strong suspicion about Derr’s involvement in prior rapes within the area. However, he was not featured in the photo line-up at the time of the rape nor questioned. In 1988, Norman Bruce Derr was convicted to three consecutive life sentences after being caught for rape and linked to six other cases. The defense attorney reviewing this case believed police should’ve looked harder into Derr as his rapes were described exactly the same way McAlister was accused of; a white male wielding a knife, wearing a plaid shirt and a stocking cap over his face.

Earle Nelson was arrested in Canada but had escaped jail. Between 1926 and 1927 Nelson had officially killed twenty two different women, maybe even more, and had been made a record for about a decade before it was broken. He had set the record for being the first American serial sex killer of the twentieth century. His capture wasn’t easy due to the reason that he moved around, changed his name, and the police at that point in time were not well educated on the way a serial killer thinks and acts. When Nelson was finally caught and recognized for his crimes, his attorney had tried to get him off for being mentally incapable.

Before graduating from college, Sebold fought long and hard to bring justice to herself and to many women like her, rape victims, and women whose lives were forever changed by the pain of male aggression and forceful domination. Sebold was walking along a street just outside her college campus in syracuse when she spotted her rapist and she immediately went all the way back to the safety of her campus dorm and contacted the police to give her statement and report him. For many women who are victims of sexual abuse, seeing their rapist or abuser behind bars is not an option but Alice Sebold did not want to become another forgotten case in a filing cabinet as “closed” or “unsolved”, she wanted justice for herself and for all women like her and she was willing to do all it took to make sure she got it. However, a case study done by RAINN states that “Out of every 1000 instances of rape, only 13 cases get referred to a prosecutor, and only 7 cases will lead to a felony conviction.” (Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2012-2014 (2015)).
