That's an unfortunately common occurrence when the police are brought in for crimes like this. Most sexual abuse is perpetrated by people who have a relationship with the victim, usually family. 1 in 5 women have been raped, a third of those women were raped between the ages of 11 and 17. 81% of women will experience some form of sexual harassment or assault in their lifetimes. Only 20-40% of rapes are reported to the police. Only about half of those result in arrest. 80% of the arrests are prosecuted. 58% of the prosecutions result in conviction. And 69% of the convicted offenders will serve time in jail/prison. So for every 100 rapists, about 3 of them will go to prison.

Uk those times where u see something that changes ur worldview quite a lot? Yea, I think this is it. Didn't know the world was SO fucked up.

I feel that, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I won't take the opportunity to shill any specific outlook or worldview. Just know that there are people out there who have made it their life's mission to fix societal ills like these. While it may be tempting to condemn the entire human race, it's not particularly productive in the long term. The things you're thinking and feeling now can be turned into action down the road once you've had time to process them and deconstruct.
