Shocking! A raped girl's dilemma - A woman's Issue Story

Raped and Impregnated at 14, Girl Must Now Share Parental Rights with Her Attacker Rapist's paternity rights locks victim into 16-year relationship with him. August 21, 2013 | BOSTON (CN) - A rape victim sued Massachusetts to stop it from subjecting her to "a court-ordered 16-year unwanted relationship with her attacker" by giving him paternity rights over the child born from the rape. H.T., of Norwood, Mass., sued the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in Federal Court. "The plaintiff, a rape victim in a state criminal matter, became pregnant in 2009 at age 14 as a result of the crime and gave birth to her attacker's child," the lawsuit states. "The defendant in the state criminal proceeding, age 20 at the time of the impregnation, was convicted of rape in 2011 and was sentenced to 16 years probation. Conditions of probation include an order that he initiate proceedings in family court and comply with that court's orders until the child reaches adulthood. The plaintiff here seeks to enjoin enforcement of so much of the state court's order as violates her federal rights by binding her to an unwanted 16-year legal relationship with her rapist."

India not a nice place for women and girls

What the hell is going on in India? Have some of these men gone coo-coo - what's up with raping a 5 year old girl? This makes me really mad.
It is nice to see so many men joining with women to seek justice for the little girl.
I think the government should be swift to punish this man to the fullest extent of the law to stop this recent terror of women.
