A woman who was raped and suffered a stillbirth is now facing a murder trial

A woman who delivered a stillborn baby after being raped is now facing a lengthy prison sentence.

Prosecutors in El Salvador allege Evelyn Beatríz Hernández Cruz deliberately induced an abortion as a teenager.

The now 21-year-old will go on trial for the second time, despite a court ordering her release from jail earlier this year.

The young woman had served three years behind bars when lawyers successfully argued the rape victim was unaware she was pregnant at the time of the stillbirth.

Prosecutors have long argued Ms Hernandez is guilty of murder because she failed to seek out antenatal care.

Activists have followed the woman’s case and the retrial is threatening to unsettle support groups who had celebrated Ms Hernandez’s initial court victory.

El Salvador remains a deeply conservative nation with the church a highly influential force in public discourse.

Abortion has been illegal in the Central American country since 1998 with dozens of women prosecuted for manslaughter and homicide for suffering still birth or miscarriage.

Unwanted sexual attention plagues young women going out at night
A disturbingly high proportion of young people, particularly women, experience unwanted sexual attention in entertainment districts across Queensland.

This is the bad news from a two-year, independent evaluation of the Queensland government's 2016 "Tackling Alcohol-Fuelled Violence" (TAFV) policy (the good news included a significant statewide reduction in serious assaults).

One in three patrons reported unwanted sexual attention—including harassment, unwanted touching, or sexual gestures—in or around a licensed venue in the preceding three months. Among those who reported unwanted sexual attention, two in three women (68%) also reported physical and/or verbal aggression.

The rate of unwanted sexual attention was highest for young women (ages 18-24). More than 50% had experienced this harm in the previous three months, as the chart below shows.

In the Fortitude Valley entertainment district, a staggering one in four reported unwanted sexual attention on the night they were interviewed (26% of 262 female patrons interviewed and followed up the next day).

Over the two-year evaluation, 4,055 patrons (43% female) were interviewed on Saturday nights on the streets of three entertainment districts—Cairns, Fortitude Valley (Brisbane) and Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast).

While the rates fluctuated over time in these areas, the rate of unwanted sexual attention didn't change when comparing the months before and after the TAFV policy took effect. The chart below shows the trend for Fortitude Valley.


Proportion of patrons in Cairns, Fortitude Valley and Surfers Paradise entertainment districts who experienced unwanted sexual attention in the 3 months prior, by sex and age category.

I wonder if there is a pattern in my posting or if the thread doesn't actually need to pull up.

It also should be noted that my posts are all things from today.

In a slight change of format have an unnerving narrative presented by the media.

On Tuesday here in Sydney a man went and stabbed a 24 year old sex worker to death before going out into the street to stab more people in an attempt to suicide by cop. (Being Australia he only had a knife and was stopped with a chair and a milk crate before the police could even arrive). In a turn of events that will probably only be a surprise to 1 poster in the thread she's being described as a 'catholic school girl' by the news media here.



Pretty unnerving to realize that they're pushing this narrative because the public doesn't care about sex workers

The "former Catholic school girl" bit is a really fuckin' weird detail though.

It's not just not caring about sex workers, it's the catholic school girl line specifically because everyone knows she was a sex worker murdered during an appointment. They're layering the creepy very deep.

Uuuuugh.
Like if it was 49 and 19 I'd be making a face but at least everyone would have been some sort of adult, but this story isn't even meeting that low low bar.

Like where age of consent laws are 16 my feeling is that it's still mostly teenagers with teenagers, there's no loving excuse for someone that much older to come preying on a 16 year old.

There was a post talking specifically about a horrible thing women did to themselves and was done due to pressures of society stigmatizing women's bodies. This is literally a part of the definition of what the loving patriarchy is. You then claim that it ain't the patriarchy because women also do bad things on their own initiative, despite this being a complete non-sequitur. This sort of massive stupidity on the definitions of language is a common enough that it's far safer to just assume you're a misogynist pretending to be completely stupid, than believe you're actually that stupid.

27 is incontrovertibly an adult with a fully developed brain and real life experience, 16 is not. The age difference might be a little weird, but they're both grown-rear end men and they appear to be making it work.

I hope this doesn't sound weird. I'm a pediatric nurse, and all my patients are great, but I am a total sucker for the little girls. Like, if they said they wanted to get a pony after their shots, I would be like yes, yes you can. Let's go get a pony! A castle in Scotland, of course! I'll look right now! We can definitely get a gallon of ice cream after you're done with your visit!

The boys are fun too, but they're more like bros - talking about video games, and sports and such.

The docs give me a hard time because, now and then, I'll just be listening to them tell me stories about summer vacation, or playing with friends, or whatever and get wrapped up in listening, just because they're particularly gregarious our being silly.

That being said, they're all beautiful kids, but loving goddamn they're KIDS, even at 16, 17, 18 years old. Holy loving poo poo. You don't date children. This middle-aged-dating-teens poo poo makes me want to barf. Sick fuckers, goddamn.

It's not pedophilia but a 30 year age gap is gonna still cause a power imbalance

Dating someone your own age is not hard, or worse

Not related to this case in particular but age gaps are also often because women over like 35 are seen as past their expiry date

I think Anthony Hopkins is known to be super nice and friendly. I only know one first hand story about him, but there seems to be a bunch of them. Also once Tim Curry bought one of my co-workers a cab ride home when she told him she was a huge fan outside of a theater in Chicago.

I used to have a list in my head of famous dudes who I thought couldn't possibly be terrible but despite non of them getting outed as horrid sex pests I can't get myself to believe that I would be surprised by anyone being a outed as a monster tbh. Especially after reading the list of people who signed the Polanski petition. Here are some I remember of the top of my head.
Alejandro Innaritu, Martin Scorsesse, Guillermo Del Toro, Wes Anderson, Mia Farrow, Tilda Swinton, (Emma Thompson, Asia Argento and Natalie Portman apoligized later). And that's not to forget about all of the actors who have worked with or defended him in the last couple of years.

I just don't understand how even with #metoo, Polanski just gets a pass for being a mega rapist. Is it just because people like his art? People liked Kevin Spacey but he's now universally seen as an rear end in a top hat. Why does this dude get a pass? And it's not like there's any ambiguity to his guilt and his crimes are absolutely horrific, way worse than most other people who have been brought down.
