You should make a point of trying every experience once, except incest and folk dancing.

Is THIS FUCKING DISTURBING OR WHAT! A man was sentenced 25 life sentences for raping his daughters and getting them pregnant 18 times. Apparently, the women had been asked in over 20 occasions about the paternity and nature of their pregnancies and at all times refused due to being afraid of domestic abuse.
This is really worrisome, especially since professionals were very suspicious of these events, yet hadn't done anything about it. They claimed that there was not enough evidence, and with the women not willing to talk, nothing could be done. What they should have know is that half of domestic abuse victims don't tell. Sometimes, it'd be nice if they overstepped some privacy boundaries to make sure people are ok. This is an issue that definitely needs to be looked over by the British court and come up with a better solution. Its better safe than sorry, especially for these women. This is goddamn awful in all accounts.
The article ran in the British newspaper The Guardian and can be checked out here.
