Of course, growing up as a child conceived via sexual assault has its own problems. Ideally, come forward at the closest police station." The message said something along the lines of, 'If you had sexual relations with between the dates of Jan-Feb, please come forward for a matter of paternity.'"
All I remember about the legal stuff is that they came to my house and told me that I will have to approve a message that will go in the legal section of the newspaper. "I was mostly doing what they told me to do. She only vaguely understood this process at the time. And how do you actually put the word out to your rapist that impregnated you? Well, the adoption agency Cara worked with decided to post a statement in the newspaper, allowing a set amount of time for the respondent to come forward before waiving his rights completely. Because even though this man raped you, the fact that he left some semen behind apparently gives him some inalienable rights. The only positive from him winding up in jail after two victims is that most rapists average around six.Ī victim also has to inform the father of their intended action (placing the baby up for adoption) and allow them to step forward and claim parental status of the child. Something Cara was uncomfortable with, though she did later discover that her attacker was convicted of the same crime in a different case, which torments her still: "He went to jail for raping someone else, and I think that is my fault." For example, the rapist could be convicted of the crime, which would require reporting it - something an overwhelming amount of rape victims are uncomfortable with. A rapist can and does have legal rights to a child born from their act of violence. When Cara decided to give her baby up for adoption, she had to first ensure that the child's father - her rapist - was informed of the pregnancy and OK with giving up his parental rights. When rape results in the conception of a child, the victims are left to straighten out the legal aftermath alone, but that doesn't mean their attackers don't continue to loom over them. Sometimes described as the " most intimate" crime, sexual assault is a violation that haunts its victims both physically and psychologically.
