Will their options be:
-never to talk to reporters or anyone else about being raped
-to be badgered during their interviews by reporters, editors and the publications which employ those reporters and editors, all of them fearful of being sued
-to be publicly called mentally unstable and liars by the people who had told them that they wanted to help
The women whom the criminal justice system doesn't fail are not mostly going to be women who already had some social or financial power before they were raped. They're not the ones who most need the help of what is supposed to be a free press, with the exception of the Central Park Jogger. It is unspeakable that her rapists are out of jail and are going to be paid millions of dollars.
She would have died if she were poor. If she were poor, it would be a murder case. Although she wasn't poor, she probably would have died anyway if the case weren't so public and her employer hadn't helped with the cost of her medical care.
These are pictures of nonconsecutive parts of a Los Angeles Times article that was published on July 17, 1990:
