12 years. Better late than never, but that is so depressing.

I can't only imagine the impact this has on people coming forward. The crime is back enough to live through let alone a 12 year rollercoaster to follow.

The absolute most crappy part of the whole thing was: The (V)-victim was a real good friend of a fellow Officer. The other Officer met Us at the hospital when I transported Her there for testing/treatment/evidence collection. The other Officer was sadly killed-in-action and wasn't aware that the (V) was successful in Prosecuting the TURD/Rapist.
