The linked story about the mother defending the rapist raises more questions than it answers. What was the rapist's relationship to the mother and daughter? How did he have access to her? Is he the mother's boyfriend? A relative? If mom didn't report his crime, who did? When she claimed "everything" they are saying against him is a lie, does that include the report that he impregnated the 10 year-old? He admitted it. Was the mother asked about that? Whoever did this reporting did a pathetic job.

Of all Ann's books, Adios America left the largest impression on me due to its in-depth discussion of this topic...These crimes seem to be beyond most Americans' imaginations. I wonder if that contributes to the lack of press coverage-- the fact that people just can't believe it, or are so appalled that they immediately push it out of their brains.?
