CRAZY US Law-RAPISTS Have Custody of Children Born From Their Crimes
CRAZY US Law That Grants RAPISTS Custody of Children Born From Their Crimes
For victims of sexual assault, recovery is often long and torturous. But some women face even more trauma when they find out they are pregnant to their attacker.
60 Minutes Australia •22 Jul 2020
Every year in the United States about 10,000 babies are born as a result of rape. In these situations, the natural assumption is that all compassion, as well as all legal rights, rest with the victim and her child.
But as Liam Bartlett discovers, that’s not the case in several states where outdated laws mean an increasing number of American rapists are legally applying for, and being granted, custody rights over these children.
Thankfully though, there are courageous women fighting to change these crazy laws.
