Rape victims came forward to say that the whole campaign made it look as if it were the women's fault, which is understandable considering it says that your friend has apparently already “made a bad decision” from the get-go.

Not to get into the realm of conspiracy theory, but there are some very disturbing “coincidences” surrounding this case.

A mother whose son was involved with Sandusky's Second Mile charity contacted University Police in 1998 after learning her son had been showering with the Penn State Defensive Coordinator.

Detectives eavesdropped on a conversation between the mother and Sandusky in which she confronted him and asked if his "private parts" had touched her son. Sandusky responded, "I don't think so...maybe. I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead."

Despite testimony from the mother and Sandusky's statement caught on tape, Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar refused to bring charges against Sandusky. Sandusky "retired" from Penn State football the next year, but continued to run Second Mile from an office on the Penn State campus, where he still had access to the athletic facilities.

D.A. Ray Gricar disappeared in 2005, 7 years after the first Sandusky case and 9 months before his retirement.

After telling his girlfriend he was going for a long drive, his car was found abandoned at an antiques market 50 miles from the courthouse where he worked. His laptop was discovered months later in the Susquehanna River, its hard drive removed. Investigators learned Gricar, shortly before his disappearance, had done internet searches on how to destroy a hard drive.

Gricar's daughter had him declared legally dead this year.

The Centre County District Attorney refuses to release any records on the disappearance of Gricar, rejecting Right-To-Know requests from the Associated Press.

More troubling, when the Associated Press requested Gricar's file on the 1998 allegations against Sandusky, the District Attorney's office said they could not release the file because "there are no such records in the office."

According to sports writer Mark Madden, who was one of the first to break the Sandusky child rape story, investigators are currently looking into whether Sandusky may have been at the center of a child prostitution ring.

If Sandusky was using Second Mile as a recruiting ground for victims, it should be asked if anyone else in the charity was doing the same.

Yeah, because a rapist is not going to attack you when you're wearing sweatpants. Way to perpetuate victim blaming, NYPD.

Lauren, who did not want her last name used, told the the Wall Street Journal that she was walking down the street in shorts and a t-shirt after leaving the gym on Monday when she was stopped by an officer who also stopped two other women in dresses.

Lauren said the officer asked them if they knew what was happening in the area, and asked them if they knew what the suspect looked for.

"He pointed at my outfit and said, 'Don't you think your shorts are a little short?'" she told the Journal. "He pointed at their dresses and said they were showing a lot of skin."

Warning: The video is disturbing. Trigger warning for sexual assault victims.

Wait, let me double check…nope. We haven't magically traveled back in time to the 12th century. This is happening right now.

Kainat Soomro is a 17-year-old Pakistani girl who has become a local celebrity of sorts in her battle for justice in the Pakistani courts, a daring move for a woman of any age in this country, let alone a teenager.

She is fighting to get justice for a gang rape that she insists happened four years ago in Mehar, a small town in Pakistan.

As she shared details of her days in captivity and multiple rapes, she kept repeating, "I want justice, I will not stop until I get justice." After three days, she was finally able to escape she said. As she spoke, her father gently tapped her head. He said he tried to get Kainat's alleged rapists arrested, but instead he was rebuffed by the police.

According to the Kainat family's account, the tribal elders declared her kari, (which literally means black female), for losing her virginity outside marriage.

Kainat said that despite the pressures her family refused to kill her.

"It is the tradition, but if the family doesn't permit it, then it won't happen. My father, my brother, my mom didn't allow it," she said.

And that defiance has left the family fearing for their lives. The family's new home in Karachi has been attacked a number of times. In Karachi, Kainat and her family are now sharing one room in a run-down apartment block, and they have to rely on charities to help them pay for food.
