http://www.salon.com/2013/05/20/worst_horrifying_new_trend_posting_rapes_to_facebook/ In an interview with Business Insider last month, psychology professor and sexual violence expert Dr. Rebecca Campbell noted that, “Sexual assault is a crime of power and dominance. By distributing images of the rape through social media, it’s a way of asserting dominance and power to hurt the victim over and over again.”
Well, well, well. Let's see how smart posting ones crimes on-line is in the long run... "Dude, it was all cool and the bitch was crying and raging and shit, but then I started getting these weird messages with a picture of a mask in it, and then ... "
Call me crazy, but isn't this a good thing in the long run? Most cases of rape can end up in a "he said she said" scenario, with additional evidence needed for prosecution being difficult to come by. If rapists are posting pics on the interwebs then that becomes evidence that can be used to prosecute - I see that as a good thing.
Yes, It may provide prosecutors with valuable additional evidence, however the distress for the victim is infinitely worse. That IMO invalidates any upside.
