Day 6
Rape suspects should be aware of the adverse effect of rape. Children should be informed early about it as it helps them in their decision making. Today, we look at the adverse effect rape has on rape suspects.
- Perpetrator/Suspect
There are effects and Consequences for every action. Suspects in rape also have to deal with consequences for thrir actions. These consequences vary and may differ as every rape case differ. The suspect may have to deal with any of the following depending on the victim involved:
* Injuries: there is a possibility of being injured during the rape. Th victim may inflict serious injuries on the suspect depending on the advantages the victim may have at the time. Advantages may be physical strength, fighting skills, weapon, intelligence etc
* STI (Sexually Transmitted Infections): every occasion of sex without protection is a risk to contacting an infection.
* Guilt: suspects are always left guilty for the act committed except the heart is hardened already. The conscience will always query the wrong actions done. This may last for a long or short them and lead to low self esteem.
* Shame & loss of integrity: whatever integrity the suspect has before incident will be lost and it is usually difficult and will take time to regain such integrity.
* Loss of life(death): any suspect is at risk of losing his life. This may be during the rape by the victim. It may also occur from jungle justice or a sentence by the law depending on where the rape occurred.
* Sentence by law: a suspect that is found guilty will face the wrath of the law. In Nigeria, the penalty for rape is a life sentence.
This is to challenge us to charge and warn our children and ward to stay away from this menace to our society.
The satisfaction derived from rape is infinitesimal compared to the possible adverse effect that comes with it. You also have a responsibility to engage young boys and let them understand that there is no good in it.
Thank you.
