So I know its fucked and all, but as a victim I do like seeing people own what they have done. It takes some of the anguish away from the victims. People always act like we're lying and its good to be vindicated. Probably will help the victims in a small way. It at least shows the guy is somewhat remorseful and empathetic, here's hoping he is capable of making things right in some way, whether thats a criminal case or whatever.

Also, for real, I don't even know what a proper punishment for my rapist would even be. Like I don't really even care about punishment 95% of the time. Sometimes I do want him to be punished severely, maybe even die, when I'm in the throes of a very bad PTSD attack. It feels like its happening again, RIGHT NOW, when PTSD is happening so its sort of a self defense response. But most the time I think that maybe just having him not ever be able to do that again, whether that is imprisonment or rehab, is fine. But another consideration is how badly it mires the thoughts of someone. Its basically torture for the rest of your life. It can cause you a loss in productivity, jobs, etc. A payout would be good too. But in a socialist society you would be covered regardless, so I dont know. Kinda spacing out at this point, had a bad day, so yeah.
