Finally, it has been noted that there is a growing recognition that sexual assault is different from other crimes, both for the victims and for the accused. Therefore, a clear interpretation of the law should be projected in order to prevent any more repetition of cases similar to that of Wisconsin. However, the rape shield law was a major turn over in the history of law and has made several contributions to many cases during this course of time.

Writing to me is the expression of our soul and the unconcious mind. It is a wave of communications through which we can express our thoughts in great magnitudes.
I experienced the joy of writing from my early teens, when a lot of tangent thoughts would set me up at my desk with a pen and a paper for hours together. It has been the most powerful and inspirational source to man-kind since time immemorial.
Some day i wish to nourish this knack of mine further for the betterment of the society.
As some great person once said "The pen is mightier than the sword", therefore i wish to make this difference in the future through my writings.

RAPE (Serah Katusia)Tussi | Jul 17th, 2004
THATWAS SAD FOR ONE TO MAKE FALSE ACCUSATIONS. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO PUT FLAWLESS LAWS IN PLACE FOR RAPE VICTIMS. IT'S THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO ANY WOMAN, MOTHER, GIRL OR CHILD.
Flawless Laws and Arguing the Shield Enygma | Mar 26th, 2008
More of a comment to Serah, there really isn't any specific way to set the laws for this. The only way that a woman could truly prove that she was raped would be to do the highly unlikely, which would be to go to a hospital immediately afterwards with signs of bruising, traces tying the man to actually being the one to have commited the act, and more than anything, proof that it was actually rape as found by damage to the vaginal area. Otherwise, it could almost always be argued that the woman was simply ashamed of the actions that she had commited and wanted a way out. No, I'm not saying that this is always, or even rarely the case, but it has happened before.
The fact that one cannot bring up past offenses and/or sexual history is absolutely useless. Jogging the memory of the event would truly be an advantage to the victim rather than the defendant. The fright and emotions that would be shown, as well as the perfect memory of what happened when and where would be quite near the ultimate accusation.
These victims will remember what happened no matter if somebody else triggers the thought or not. It will stay with them for life. If they don't face the fact that it happened when they're attempting to charge their alleged rapist, then when should they?
