Why is America so Rapist Friendly?

Yeah, I know felon Chump is president. But why didn't law enforcement and coworkers move in on suspected serial rapists?

The decades long rapes by the men in the two stories I referenced shows how sicko fuck rapists are allowed to continue to do it because they pretend really good to be the opposite of what they are.

Or something to that effect.

The "boys will be boys" attitude is alive and well.... although they may not say it out loud these days.

The concern is for the boy's future but the rape victim is now persona non grata.
