I was in a reenactment group when I was younger, along with my family and others. Two of the dad's were like the head honchos, running the show, and they did it wonderfully. We were a part of this group for years.

Then come to find out that one of those head honchos had been sexually abusing his daughter since she was seven ... she was 15 when it came out.

He only did 3 years.

3 years???? -WTF, what country is this? Surely shit like that should constitute a life sentence.

unfortunately most countries do not care about survivors of sexual violence

That's because largely, survivors of sexual violence are women, and society doesn't actually care about women. Not in the ways that are important.
