Chitty Chitty Gang Bang
A 20-year-old single mother has accused Dominique Gindraw of rape. This young woman, attempting any job that would pay her enough to feed her child, was held at gunpoint and forced to have sex with four men. This is one of the most demeaning and violent events that a woman can endure that affect her on so many more levels than just physically. The charge against this man has been decided by the Judge to be "theft of services" rather than rape. Since when did women become property again? Theft of Services- SERIOUSLY? Alright, well maybe I left out the part that she got this job off of Craig’s list and is technically a prostitute. But really, she thought she was just innocently going to go to this guy's house and get a $15o dollar to have sex. Then he didn't have the money so he was like "oh my friends going to come over" and she’s like oh okay and then he's like I'll give you 100 more if you do stuff for him and It was all in good fun. But little did she know that not just one friend was coming over, but three, locked and loaded. She was then held at gunpoint and forced to have sex with four men at the same time. So, excluding all of those other points I made, what does this say about our judicial system? How can this female judge say that this case is shameful in light of “real” rape cases? That just doesn’t sound right to me. Yeah, she shouldn’t have been prostituting herself over Craig’s list, but maybe if the education system had been better she would have learned to have safe sex, not had a child, finished Highschool, and then wouldn’t be one of the statistics using our welfare. Obviously welfare was not helping her survive, so maybe more time and money should be spent improving the education system so people do not end up in situations needing welfare.

i really liked ur blog. sarcastic, yet made an excellent point.
prostitution is illegal, yes. but being raped by 4 men and having that be called "theft of services" is apalling and disgusting.
Cassieee
You definitely make an excellent point and your sarcastic tone helps the reader enjoy your blog that much more. I agree that there is never an excuse for raping anyone regardless of the situation, but I do have to admit she was not being very logical on the whole situation... But of course the four men should still be tried for rape. What angers me the most is that this women is looked at as "property".
lovee you.
Although it was a case of rape, it is a very touchy issue to go on. She was admittedly committing an illegal act (prostitution) and found herself in a predicament that wasn't very fun, to say the least. It is a known fact that prostitution endangers women and exposes them to very unsafe situations, but some do not have a choice but to sell themselves for money.
The issue comes down to desperation versus stupidity. She should have gotten out of there after the guy said he did not have the money. Unfortunately, this kind of stuff evidently happens all the time in prostitution (to some degree). It's like a drug dealer having merchandise stolen, he cannot go to the police. I am assuming that the court ruled in such a way based on her intent and action. Technically, set apart from her being raped, she could go to jail for prostitution.
But I digress, that really sucks, and I'd have the men punished to the full extent of the law. As for her, she just needs some common sense and a safe job to help support herself (and maybe a lot of psychological therapy).
Oh well, I guess stuff like that happens...
hellooo sugar!
alrite soo this is seriously a battle of the legal system isnt it? i mean, lets think about this... isnt prostitution illegal? sooo the woman with an illegal job got illegally raped... one might argue that she got what was coming to her. I am not one of those people. When can a simple business transaction of pleasure become a violation of rights? Its terrible that this man had to take it too far, when she was actually doing him a favor. If he was really a man, he would know how to get a lady, and not have to pay for one.
