Yeah, I think I linked that a few days ago. Insane. It can be frustrating because we all want the predators to be stopped. In our organization (where I volunteer) we are support the survivor —period. There is a big wall between law enforcement and us —set-up by law. The survivor has to trust that we are on their side or they may never come forward for treatment.

The long term damage to the survivor and any children they have is too devastating —sometimes it has to be weighed against the damage done by the criminal.

HUMANS!!!!

From the original story:

[…]

So earlier this month they obtained a judge’s order for a material witness warrant.

It’s a little-used procedure under state law that allows police to arrest a witness of a crime to ensure they show up for court. Chief Criminal Deputy James Smith said such warrants are rare and requested only “as a last resort.”

In this case, it had the added irony of using a warrant to hold the woman against her will so she can help convict someone else of holding her against her will.

[…]

So apparently it’s legal, but it should not be, IMHO, legal to lock up the VICTIM of a crime as a material witness. And Marcotte has no reason to support this idiocy. Which woman will report rape in the future if it means SHE will go to jail?
