Mr. Kuyper, How about the background of the victim which is often a history of victimizations starting in early childhood? Are you suggesting that those who "prey" on these people should somehow have our sympathy? Would you suggest that those who "prey" on the elderly, our children, or the retarded should also have our sympathy? Sexual predators, such as the one that raped and murdered eleven year old Megan Kanka, should somehow be viewed as victims? I don't think so!!! SHAME on you.........Ed Riemann
