Not so, Priests have been named in sex abuse years later based on the allegation of children. If there was a police report she could name the man, it likely has a limitation, but she could still force an inquiry.

She named her rapist, to the police when she reported it. Fu ckwad.
She wasn't a politician when she was raped.
Yup, no doubt about it, you ARE the biggest fu cking a$$hole on this board. Less than a pile of brainless shyte.
Ya, priests that have not been accused, investigated,charged, or found guilty...... yet. She had already reported the rape to the police, they "investigated" and wouldn't prosecute. Not unusual for the time.

That's right, you don't think. That's obvious as hell.
In an article in the Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine, Roy J. Levin and Willy Van Berlo found that even in men who have not consented to sex, slight stimulation of the genitals or an increase in stress can create erections "even though no specific sexual stimulation is present."

Of course. The reality of all rape is that it doesn't begin with penetration, it begins with the violation of forcing a sexual act without consent.

What is it exactly about the notion of a human being forced to do something extremely violating and against their will that you find so amusing? Kind of makes me wonder what else you laugh at? Burn victims maybe?

Our victim didn't even see fit to report the incidents for thirty years. And then she didn't name her attackers. One wonders why. Sexual assault is a terrible thing. Surely, as an MP, Sheila Copps could understand that it was better for all concerned for her to to dig her heels in and make sure both assailants were prosecuted. She knew both of them. How many other women were assaulted by these same two.
There are many reasons why rape victims often don't report their rape and there are a lot of women who choose to not report the rape. It does not mean it didn't happen.
Imagine the most humiliating experience of your life and then times that by about a 100, then take that feeling and go and tell someone you don't know about it. But remember, you can't leave out any details. Not the smallest nor the most humiliating. They're going to ask you some extraordinarily personal questions. They're not going to be very nice about it and in fact, they may even become condescending. Most likely they'll infer you were to blame. Maybe you led them on and so deserved it.
That would be a small taste of what a rape and a rape incident report would be like in the 1970's. It's unlikely you could begin to comprehend the emotional state of a victim let alone what it would be like to go through the reporting of it. Not everyone is equiped to handle it and it's not a reflection of their character if they are unable to handle it.
Sheila did report her rape. That took alot of courage. It's not her responsiblity to protect other women. It's the police.
Certain mental problems for rape victims don't surface for ten twenty or more years...even if the rape was reported....
One thing that therapists suggest that the victim should do when those problem surface, sometimes triggered by a simple news broadcast, is that the victim go public and talk about it, instead of holding it in and take pills for whatever depression caused by the reminder of what happened to them.

I'm just speculating here, but Sheila Copps rapist is starting to remind me of Jean Chretien's homeless man. If she reported this there would be a paper trail. If it in fact happened. Only Sheila knows for sure I guess and she's kept that secret. Seems uncharacteristic of a woman who has had such tenacity. I am skeptical. Unsubstantiated allegations are always going to be suspect.
Was that the woman that John Crosby commented on? Something to do with a beverage as I recall!
At this point in time I suspect some consider it to be politically incorrect to question allegations of this nature. What was Sheila's record for telling fibs when she was an M.P.?

I'm no fan of Liberals, I simply think the party itself is corrupt to the core. But! And I could be being a tad naive here, but I believe her. Knowing women that have lived through it, I can't imagine a women pretending to have had it happen to her for political gain or attention.
It would make that person the most vile of scum.
